Question
“How should facial paralysis be treated? Will there be complications after treatment?”
Answer
“Treatment for facial paralysis includes the use of corticosteroids to prevent tissue degeneration, facial muscle spasms, and to enhance joint mobility. Studies show that the relief rate in mild cases of facial paralysis is not related to the use of corticosteroids, but treatment in moderate cases can extend the duration of relief and improve the relief rate. Neurodegeneration typically occurs within two weeks after symptom onset, so early treatment before neurodegeneration can lead to better outcomes.”
