What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

I want to ask what are the symptoms of facial paralysis.? During the summer, a friend of mine said he had facial paralysis because he was blowing air conditioning. Because I wasn't at home at the time, I didn't see his symptoms, but now I find that my mouth is a little crooked, and I have difficulty controlling it, with drool coming back.

Doctor's answer:

If it happens again, it's best to have a facial paralysis, which is mostly related to a cold or exposure to cold, and also related to viral infections. When facial paralysis reoccurs, it is primarily characterized by drooping eyelids and crooked mouth, and may also include symptoms such as narrowed pupils and drooling from the corners of the mouth. It is necessary to undergo a timely and thorough examination. Generally, it is recommended to consult a neurology department and take medications that nourish the nerves orally based on the condition. At the same time, acupuncture and massage can be actively combined for auxiliary treatment.
