What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

6-month-old babies cannot lift their heads, can roll over, have a normal appetite, and basically show no abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

When facial paralysis occurs, the contralateral facial muscles become paralyzed, causing drooping mouth corners and deviation to the healthy side, tearing or drooling, shallow nasolabial folds, or widened eye fissures, disappearance of forehead wrinkles, or inability to frown, close eyes, show teeth, pout, or whistle, etc. We know that facial paralysis has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, which can bring great harm to children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their children's condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
