Why does facial paralysis get worse after a week? - Hidden causes of early worsening and wise coping methods

"Why does my facial paralysis get worse after a week?" Many people visit Dalimchae Oriental Medicine Clinic with such anxiety.

💡 [Key Answer] Common reasons:

1. Nerve damage progression
2. Intensified inflammatory response
3. Decreased recovery power

Dalimchae Clinic focuses on restoring facial nerve function through autonomic nerve stabilization.

The first 72 hours to a week is the period when nerve damage and inflammation are most active. Missing this period increases the risk of sequelae.

• Inflammatory response: Swelling of the nerve leads to compression.
• Deepening nerve damage: Signal transmission becomes blocked.
• Low recovery power: Stress and fatigue break the autonomic balance.

We use acupuncture, herbal steam therapy, and custom herbal medicine to stabilize the autonomic nervous system and promote nerve regeneration. Research shows that herbal steam therapy and 'Wasa-haepyo-tang' significantly improve facial nerve function.

• Recovery time: Several weeks to months.
• Oriental medicine effect: Effective in reducing inflammation and promoting regeneration.
• Natural recovery: Possible for mild cases, but treatment is recommended to prevent sequelae.
