What is the reason for the slightly crooked mouth when speaking during the recovery period of facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

My friend has facial paralysis and is currently in the recovery phase, but I noticed that his mouth is a bit crooked when he speaks. I wanted to ask what causes a slightly crooked mouth during the recovery phase of facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

After three months of rigorous treatment, the nerve anesthesia has not yet fully recovered. There is no response or potential motor activity in the facial nerve conduction velocity and electromyography, making surgical treatment possible. It is recommended that you visit a neurologist for a thorough examination and the necessary tests to confirm the diagnosis and then implement targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to rest and avoid excessive mental stress. Maintain a light diet, avoid drinking beer, and refrain from spicy and stimulating foods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
