Patient's question:
When I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, I noticed that my mouth was crooked and my eyes were a bit slanted, which startled me greatly. I quickly went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told me that I had Bell's palsy. I had never heard of this term before and found it quite terrifying. Moreover, my current appearance is quite frightening.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 visit a formal facial nerve hospital for treatment. On the one hand, it will alleviate the condition, and on the other hand, early detection and early treatment can save medical costs. It is crucial not to use medication blindly on your own, as it may interfere with diagnosis and affect the efficacy, leading to undesirable consequences.
