How long does it take to recover from facial palsy in pregnancy

Facial palsy is relatively tricky to treat when it occurs during pregnancy because many medications cannot be applied, but how long it takes to recover also depends on the degree of the patient’s facial palsy. First, if the patient has mild facial palsy, the patient can recover in about 2-3 weeks. Secondly, if the patient has moderate or severe facial palsy, the recovery time may be about 2-3 months after active treatment, because moderate or severe facial palsy cannot be treated with hormones to reduce facial edema, and can only be improved through physical therapy, such as with acupuncture, oral nerve-nourishing drugs, such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B12, but hormones cannot be applied in the acute stage. The degree of facial nerve damage is still relatively heavy, so the recovery time may be about 3 months, but some patients may also have the sequelae of facial palsy.
