Patient's question:
I visited a private clinic for a dental procedure and had anesthesia administered three times. The first two times were fine, but after the third time, about half an hour after returning home, I started to lose the ability to speak, my mouth became, and I felt a bit like I was in shock. I went to the county hospital, where the doctor diagnosed facial nerve palsy with an unknown cause. I received treatment for a month and then went home, taking medication for another one and a half months. So far, there has been some improvement—my mouth is no longer, and I can speak normally again. However, I occasionally experience localized facial pain that spreads around, which occurs a few times a day and subsides after a while. Now, I'm a bit dizzy and want to ask a doctor what's going on and how to proceed with treatment~The symptoms started two and a half months ago, following the anesthesia administered during a dental procedure, but the exact cause remains unclear.
