Most people with facial paralysis begin to recover 2 to 4 weeks after the onset of the disease and fully recover after 3 to 4 months. If you still feel tightness in your face after more than 6 months, you may not have recovered well, and you need to consult your doctor for a reasonable treatment plan.
The following are the main reasons why you still feel tightness in your face after recovering from facial paralysis:
Sensory abnormality: Since the nerve damage recovers slowly, sensory abnormality may still occur after the motor symptoms disappear, and the feeling of facial tightness may occur.
Psychological factors: Due to the longer lasting course of the disease, it is possible for patients to feel facial discomfort habitually after facial paralysis has healed. This is a psychological factor, and the feeling of facial tightness may disappear by diverting attention.
If facial palsy patients have tightness in their face, especially if they have had tightness for more than 6 months, they should consult their doctors in time, and the doctors should give them a reasonable diagnosis and treatment plan.
