Patient's question:

The patient recently feels generally uncomfortable. What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Facial paralysis is a relatively common disease in clinical diagnosis within neurology, also known as facial nerve palsy or Bell's palsy. It is a type of peripheral nerve lesion. Clinically, it manifests as dysfunction of the expressive muscles on the affected side, such as the inability to frown, close the eyes, pout, whistle, or have crooked corners of the mouth. During the acute phase of this disease, hormone treatment can be used. At the same time, it can be complemented with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture for better efficacy.
