Patient's question:
What are the early signs of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question. The symptoms of facial paralysis tend to manifest primarily as eyelid tremors, with forceful closure of both eyes. When the examiner gently lifts the upper eyelid, a slight muscle twitching is felt on one side, while the other side shows no such movement. The presence of this phenomenon indicates mild facial nerve paralysis, with peripheral facial nerve paralysis being more common. These symptoms are mostly concentrated around the eyelids. You can perform a self-examination based on your own condition. If you notice any signs, please seek medical attention promptly.
