Can my facial nerve damage heal itself ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Facial nerve: Unless the nerve was severely damaged by injury or surgery, the facial nerve inflammation and facial paralysis often recovers in time. It may take a few months in some cases and a few weeks in others. Physical therapy is worth trying.
