Suggest Treatment Options For Facial Paralysis
my friend has contracted shingles and ended up getting facial paralysis (Ramsay Hunt) and wonders how long it will take to regain her facial muscle or is there something she can do. She is now on Prednesone, and the rash on her face is gone as she had anti viral drugs immediately. She is so worried about regaining muscle on the side of her face. Is there something she can do in the meantime?
