Patient's question:
I've been feeling down lately, and my sleep quality hasn't been good either. Recently, I've been going out more often. When I came back a few days ago, something felt off. My face was quite stiff, and I felt very uncomfortable. Sometimes, I would drool, and I couldn't close my eyes either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I had facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, external trauma, this is also a cause of facial paralysis. Secondly, the blood vessels that nourish the facial nerves may spasm due to cold wind, leading to ischemia, edema, and compression of nerve tissue, which is the most common cause of facial paralysis. Psychological factors are also an important cause of facial paralysis. Many patients experience physical fatigue and insufficient sleep before the onset of the condition, so it is important to maintain a good mood on a daily basis.
