The prodromal symptom of facial paralysis is ‘ear pain’am. A few days before onset, pain in the bone (mastoid), the size of the upper part of the thumb, located below the back of the auriclewill feel Following Decreased sense of taste 2-3 days before onsetBut it’s not a tasteless phenomenon. The sense of taste itself on the tongue becomes dull. However, not all of these symptoms lead to facial paralysis.
Kang Joong-won, professor at Kyung Hee Korean Medicine Hospital “Facial paralysis is most effective when treated within 72 hours of onset.”as “Facial paralysis is a race against time, and the longer treatment is delayed, the worse it continues to get, so treatment must be done without delay.”said.
If moderate facial paralysis is treated appropriately from the beginning, Symptoms recover within two to two and a half months after onsetdo. but Each patient has a different degree of nerve damage that affects the degree of symptoms, so they may recover more quickly, or if the symptoms are severe, they may not recover at all and leave aftereffects. Depending on the age of the patient or the state of physical condition and physical strength, the treatment period may vary.
Professor Kang Joong-won said, “Prevention of facial paralysis is more important than management in daily life.” “When mental stress increases, when physical fatigue lasts for a long time, when overall immunity decreases, such as when you become weak after suffering from a serious illness, the possibility of developing the disease increases, so overall health recovery is the most important.”said.
“Securing the quantity and quality of meals and sleep, avoiding excessive stress, preventing physical fatigue from accumulating, and maintaining muscle strength through regular exercise are also important,” he emphasized.
