Post-stroke facial paralysis, how to treat tearing eyes?

Patient's question:

I am a person with facial paralysis. I got the disease in November 10 years ago. After recovery, my eyes started to tear up when exposed to cold wind or when eating spicy and sour foods. It's still the same this year.

Doctor's answer:

How is the recovery of facial paralysis so far? How is the eyelid closure? Can it close completely? Is there any lower eyelid eversion? Is the nasolacrimal duct unobstructed? Is there any eye infection? These conditions need to be treated by an ophthalmologist. What is the cause of facial paralysis? Is it due to trauma, viral infection, tumor, inflammation, or other causes? Please provide a detailed explanation.
