What is the reason for crying with a facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

I have a friend who has facial paralysis and often cries. Hello, what is the reason for facial paralysis and crying?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in the case of peripheral facial palsy, due to viruses or many other inflammatory conditions causing damage to the facial nerve to a certain extent, it can lead to the collapse of many facial muscles. If the eyelids do not close properly, it can result in frequent tearing, and even more so at night. It is advisable to use various eye drops to help with the treatment.
