Question
I’ve had facial paralysis for about 3 to 4 months now. Is it too late to start treatment?
Answer
The optimal time for treating facial paralysis is immediately after the recurrence of symptoms, with earlier treatment resulting in better effects. If several months have passed, conservative treatment may not be effective. It’s now necessary to consider a consultation with a neurology department at the hospital. If conservative treatment has not been very effective, surgical treatment may need to be considered. The surgical plan would need to be tailored based on individual detailed conditions. Additionally, many nerve-nourishing medications can be used in conjunction.
