Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been unconsciously drooling, and when I laugh, my colleagues always say my mouth is crooked. I took a look in the mirror and it was indeed crooked. Today, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have 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 blindly use medication on your own, as this may interfere with diagnosis and affect the efficacy, leading to unnecessary loss.
