Question
Can parotitis-induced left facial palsy be cured?
Answer
The cause of facial palsy is generally due to viral infection, with treatment options including medication and surgery. 69% of patients with mild cases can be cured with a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, 40% of patients require surgical treatment. If the degree of facial nerve injury exceeds 70% as detected by facial electromyography within one month of onset, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Otherwise, severe complications may remain. The effectiveness of facial palsy treatment is time-sensitive; if surgery is delayed beyond six months, it may affect the treatment outcome.
