Patient's question:
My father has recently been riding his motorcycle to the market to buy groceries. The outdoor temperature is only 5 degrees Celsius. It's possible that he was hit by strong headwinds while driving and the low temperature caused his facial nerves to tighten when he woke up in the morning, making it seem like he couldn't move his face. I suggested taking him to the hospital, but I'm too scared to, and I can't confirm whether he has facial paralysis. So, could you please tell me what complications can occur with facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a very common disease, and there are many reasons that can cause it. The most common cause is neurological diseases. In daily life, it is important to have a proper diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, stay active, and boost your immunity. However, if symptoms similar to Bell's palsy reappear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If treatment is not received in a timely manner, it may lead to a series of systemic reactions.
