Is the lack of facial expression due to the brain being affected?

Patient's question:

I've had facial paralysis for 12 days and had acupuncture four times, but I haven't fully recovered yet. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Bell's palsy is a relatively complex facial disease, with most cases caused by facial cold exposure, physical injury, or viral invasion. Initially, Bell's palsy manifests as inflammation of the facial nerve, at which point no obvious facial symptoms have yet formed. As the condition progresses, patients may experience typical symptoms such as drooping eyelids and crooked mouth and eyes.
We know that Bell's palsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional medical treatment at a specialized hospital in a timely manner. This is the key to effective management.
