Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be Bell's palsy, facial nerve palsy, which could be related to factors such as viral infection or exposure to cold. It typically starts suddenly, with facial nerve palsy reaching its peak within hours to days. Some patients may experience persistent pain behind the affected ear and tenderness over the mastoid process 1-2 days before the onset of paralysis. The treatment principle is to improve local blood circulation, reduce facial nerve edema, relieve nerve compression, and promote nerve function recovery. In the acute phase, antiviral treatment, nerve nutrition, hormone application, and supportive symptomatic treatment are required. Acupuncture and physical therapy can also be combined.
