Whether facial palsy can recover on its own is related to the severity of the condition and the patient’s physical condition. If the symptoms are mild and the patient is in good health, it is possible to recover on its own, but this is less common. Facial palsy includes central facial palsy and peripheral facial palsy. Central facial palsy is usually seen in cerebrovascular disease; peripheral facial palsy is usually idiopathic facial nerve paralysis. Mild facial palsy due to facial neuritis may recover on its own, because the early pathological changes of facial neuritis are mainly nerve edema and demyelination, but no degeneration or necrosis occurs, and once the edema symptoms are reduced, it can recover on its own, but the probability is low. Therefore, it is recommended that patients should not have a fluke mentality, but should promptly visit the neurology department of the hospital and undergo targeted treatment. When peripheral facial palsy occurs, hormones, B vitamins or antiviral drugs should be used as early as possible according to the situation, with the aid of acupuncture and other methods of treatment. If central facial palsy occurs, cerebrovascular disease should be treated promptly, and we should not just wait for self-healing to avoid delaying the condition.
