Facial paralysis is a disease with good prognosis. Most patients gradually recovered after 1~3 weeks of treatment. Except for a few cases, it will fully recover in about 2 months at the latest, leaving no sequelae. Whether the treatment effect is ideal or not and whether it can be recovered sooner or later depends largely on whether the treatment can be timely. Experts believe that the best time for treatment is within one week after onset. Of course, on the premise of timely treatment, correct and reasonable comprehensive measures are needed.

First of all, we should use drugs to improve facial blood circulation, reduce swelling and promote the recovery of nerve function. Specifically, most doctors advocate using glucocorticoid as early as possible in the acute phase, such as dexamethasone or prednisone, for one course of treatment (10~ 14 days); Vitamin B 1, B 12, dibazole and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were also given. In addition, attention should be paid to protecting the cornea, because the facial paralysis side often can't close its eyes and blink normally, so the cornea is exposed for a long time and infected, so it should be protected with eye mask and eye ointment when sleeping.

Secondly, physical therapy can be combined with drug therapy. Specifically, in the acute stage, he received ultrashort wave diathermy and infrared radiation therapy; Patients in convalescence can receive iodine ion penetration therapy or acupuncture therapy, and patients can do local hot compress at home.

Finally, we should pay attention to early functional exercise. Specifically, patients can frown, lift their forehead, close their eyes, show their teeth, drum their cheeks, whistle and other actions in front of the mirror, and cooperate with facial muscle massage, which has a positive effect on promoting and accelerating rehabilitation.
