Patient's question:
My colleague hasn't been feeling well these days. He said he often experiences drooping corners of the mouth, shallowing nasolabial folds, and deviation of the corners of the mouth to the healthy side. So, I went to the hospital with him for a check-up. The doctor said it was facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Bell's palsy is a common and frequently occurring disease, usually caused by wind-cold. The invasion of wind-cold leads to mouth and eye deviation. A disease characterized by motor dysfunction of the facial expression muscle group is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal facial nerve hospital. On the one hand, this will alleviate the condition, and on the other hand, early detection and treatment can save medical costs. It is crucial not to use medication blindly without professional guidance, as this may interfere with diagnosis and affect the efficacy, leading to unnecessary loss.
