Patient's question:
Recently I've been experiencing facial paralysis, and my face feels extremely painful. What causes facial paralysis with pain? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Facial function collapse, also known as facial paralysis, is related to the position of the nerve, especially the trigeminal nerve or the facial nerve. A small portion of the reason is also the sequelae that occur after a stroke in the brain. If there is significant pain on the face, it is possible that the trigeminal nerve has been damaged. Especially if the pain is similar to a burning sensation or needle-like pain, it is trigeminal neuralgia. Pain can be controlled through surgery to sever the nerve or medication, with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as the foundation.
