Guest guest Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 SOME people have it resolve on its own within 7-10 days with no treatment but some some people it never resolves or takes very long. The treatment recommendations (from allopathic medicince) is steroid administration. My aunt had bells palsy 15 years ago that never resolved. She still looks like a stroke patient. Update: she has an acupuncture appointment at 5pm today. She is holding off on steroids for now. She was also diagnosed with strep throat and will be starting antibiotics and probiotics.
