Around 75 percent of Ramsay Hunt syndrome patients recover completely, Dr. Kochhar said, while the other 25 percent “will develop some type of longterm nerve damage,” which can manifest as facial spasms, tightness, discomfort, or facial asymmetry.
“There’s no way to know who’s going to develop longterm issues,” Dr. Kocchar explained. “If they recover within the first three to four weeks, usually they’ll have a pretty good chance of a clean recovery.”
