Facial Paralysis
The acute stage needs focus; the recovery stage needs rhythm.
The acute stage needs focus; the recovery stage needs rhythm.
Facial paralysis often begins with a viral infection when immunity is low, so rest becomes part of the treatment.
Admission may be chosen not to intensify treatment, but to secure the restful environment recovery requires.
Intensive care in the acute stage (onset to 2 weeks)
Calming inflammation of the facial nerve quickly, so the golden window that shapes recovery is not missed
Rehabilitation in the recovery stage (2 weeks to several months)
Re-educating stiffened facial muscles to bring back natural expression and balanced movement on both sides
Managing after-effects
Watching carefully for after-effects such as muscle spasm or uneven expression that can remain when recovery is slow
