Patient's question:
When I took my baby to school in winter, the weather was extremely cold. However, the baby often didn't wear a hat. I noticed that the baby's face was slightly, and during meals, food would leak from the corners of the mouth. Upon examination, I found it was childhood facial paralysis. What is childhood facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Children's facial paralysis has many causes. Facial nerve disorders can lead to facial paralysis. Prolonged chills or external force compression can cause facial paralysis, physical changes, or psychological stress. It can also lead to facial paralysis, which can be controlled with medication to alleviate symptoms.There are many causes of facial nerve paralysis in children, such as: exposure to wind, cold drafts, prolonged overfatigue, mental tension leading to a weakened immune system, or cerebral vascular disease. Viral infections, where the virus directly attacks the facial nerve, are also a cause. It is recommended to visit a reputable tertiary hospital, consult with experts, and receive targeted treatment to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment.
