Patient's question:
I went to 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 me with facial nerve palsy, but the cause was unclear. I received treatment for a month and then went home to take medication for another one and a half months. So far, there has been some improvement—I can now close my mouth without it being and can speak normally again. However, I occasionally experience localized pain on my face, which spreads around and then subsides after a while. It happens a few times a day. Now, I’m a bit dizzy and would like to ask a doctor what’s going on and how I should proceed with treatment~The symptoms started two and a half months ago, after receiving anesthesia during a dental procedure, but the exact cause remains unclear.
