Can facial nerve palsy heal on its own?

Some facial nerve palsy has the possibility of self-healing, but most of the patients can not be self-healed, in order to ensure the health of the patients, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
Facial nerve palsy is a common condition in which facial muscle movement is lost due to damage to the facial nerve. Causes of facial nerve palsy include facial neuritis, stroke, tumor, inflammation, trauma, and vascular lesions. If facial nerve palsy caused by facial neuritis is mild, it is possible to recover spontaneously.
However, the majority of facial paralysis is usually not self-healing, and may leave sequelae if treatment is not timely. Therefore, patients are advised not to rely too much on self-cure, but to consult a doctor for treatment. Usually, the treatment includes medication and surgery.
1. Drug treatment: patients can follow the doctor’s instructions for drug treatment, drugs include dexamethasone, prednisone tablets, acyclovir and so on.
2. Surgery: If the effect of medication is not satisfactory or the patient’s condition worsens, the patient can consider treatment through surgery, which includes facial nerve decompression.
Facial nerve palsy patients should seek medical treatment in time, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment, and strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
