Patient's question:
I recently noticed that my face can no longer be controlled flexibly. Could it be facial paralysis? What are the clinical manifestations of facial paralysis symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described: Bell's palsy generally recurs with symptoms such as mouth deviation, drooling, inability to close the eyelids, and facial muscle paralysis. It may also cause leakage of food or liquid during meals. However, it is important to rule out the possibility of central nervous system Bell's palsy. It is recommended to undergo a cranial CT scan to rule out the possibility of cerebral hemorrhage or stroke. If necessary, a cranial MRI test may be performed. I hope my advice is helpful to you.
