Patient's question:
My cousin always unconsciously drooled while watching TV in the dorm after work yesterday, and his mouth was also crooked when he smiled. After checking at the hospital yesterday, the doctor said my cousin has facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
The root cause of facial paralysis lies in the misalignment and distortion of the cervical vertebrae, which compresses the nerves, leading to nerve spasms and subsequent facial nerve paralysis. This results in complete facial muscle paralysis, characterized by the disappearance of forehead wrinkles, widened eye fissures, flattened nasolabial folds, drooping corners of the mouth, and deviation of the mouth corner to the healthy side when smiling.Recommendations: Consider acupuncture, massage, and herbal remedies such as Qian Zheng San for treatment. Do not give up on exercise just because of the heat. Engage in appropriate physical activity to strengthen the body, listen to light and cheerful music, maintain a calm and joyful mood, and ensure sufficient sleep, all of which are very important.
