For patients with moderate or severe facial paralysis, treatment may include medication combined with physical therapy. Facial massage, muscle exercises, acupuncture, or rehabilitation programs may be recommended to help restore facial movement.
Recovery time varies from person to person. Some patients recover within one to two weeks, while others require longer treatment depending on the extent of nerve damage. In more severe cases, surgery may be considered if other treatments are not effective.
Although air conditioners are useful during hot weather, experts recommend avoiding direct airflow to the face for long periods. Adjusting the airflow, maintaining a comfortable room temperature, and avoiding prolonged exposure to cold air may help reduce unnecessary strain on the facial nerves.
