A large percentage of patients with facial neuritis can heal on their own. The wind in the face is usually common in peripheral facial neuritis, which can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. For mild cases, it is possible that the patient will recover on his or her own without treatment, in about a week or so. Moderate and severe cases require aggressive treatment. In the acute phase, it is recommended that patients be given medications to dehydrate and reduce facial nerve swelling. Hormones, such as dexamethasone or injectable sodium heptaerythrone, are commonly used to reduce the swelling of the facial nerve, and nerve-nourishing drugs, such as methylcobalamin, should also be given. After the acute phase, patients are recommended to undergo systematic acupuncture treatment as well as physiotherapy or bloodletting and cupping, etc. Most patients can recover, and only a very few patients will have sequelae. Generally after three months, if the face does not recover completely, surgical treatment can also be considered.
