Patient's question:
I forgot to turn off the electric fan when I went to sleep a few days ago. When I woke up in the morning, I found that my face was too normal, my mouth was a bit crooked, and my two eyes were different. The whole face was a bit crooked. I always sweat during sleep. I suspect it might be facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Bell's palsy is also known as facial nerve palsy, which is a typical facial disease. Its most typical characteristics are eye deviation and mouth. Patients often cannot even perform basic facial movements such as raising eyebrows, closing eyes, pouting, and pouting. After the onset of Bell's palsy, it is advisable to seek early diagnosis and treatment. Delaying treatment is not beneficial for the condition and may lead to sequelae. The main goal of treating Bell's palsy is to comprehensively improve the microcirculation of capillaries in the affected area and fundamentally repair damaged facial neurons, restoring facial muscle function. Nowadays, the three-in-one facial nerve rehabilitation therapy can be used for symptomatic treatment. It is also important to pay attention to preventing mental stress, ensuring adequate rest time and quality, quitting smoking and alcohol, and avoiding colds to facilitate recovery.
