Brief Answer: Get his NCV Detailed Answer: I appreciate your point wise reply. I would like to tell you that the numbness in his and is due to electric injury to nerves of that area. Now recovery would depend on the extent of damage. In my practise i do Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) test to see for that. And also i add drugs like Methylcobalamin for a better healing of nerves. Some doctors also use steroids for this purpose, but that is not strongly supported. If he has neuropathic pains also, Pregabalin would help. In nut shell, recovery would depend on the extent of damage. In general, what i have seen in my practise is that if damage is very little it gets better in 1-2 weeks. But if damage is extensive it might take months. So, its better to get his NCV done. Also, such cases are admitted for 48 hours on cardiac monitoring as there might be arrhythmias complicating the disease. If you have any further query, ask me please
