Patient's question:
The child has developed cerebral palsy, and now their walking posture is very abnormal. Sometimes they lack the strength to walk, and they also experience cognitive and communication difficulties. When I talk to them, they often don't seem to hear me. I don't know when this condition will improve.Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy or facial neuritis, is commonly referred to as Bell's palsy or Hunt's syndrome. It is colloquially known as "crooked mouth," "wry mouth," "hanging wire wind," "hanging oblique wind," "facial neuritis," or "wry mouth wind." It is a common disease characterized primarily by the dysfunction of facial expression muscles, with typical symptoms including crooked mouth and eyes. It is a prevalent and frequently occurring condition that is not limited by age or gender. Patients often cannot even perform basic facial movements such as raising their eyebrows, closing their eyes, puffing out their cheeks, or pouting.
