Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite, with no significant abnormalities, but sometimes she trembles. I would like to ask, how long does it usually take for facial paralysis to begin to recover?
Answer
The recovery process of facial paralysis is generally slow. If there is no obvious recovery sign within five days after the onset, it is recommended to consider changing the treatment method. Usually, there will be a slight improvement within two to three days after the onset, but this improvement may not be immediately apparent. Full recovery may take at least half a month, and it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments to accelerate the recovery.
