Question

My husband has had facial palsy for over a decade. Recently, I read a report about a new treatment method. Can his condition still be cured?

Answer

If facial palsy has been present for many years, and it was caused by previous viral infections or exposure to cold and wind leading to facial neuritis, and now there are recurring symptoms with residual effects, it may be that there is no particularly effective way to stabilize the condition further at this point. Any new methods are related to surgery and would require detailed examination and assistance in determining the diagnosis.
