Patient's question:
My aunt has been taking care of the children at home, and her health is also quite good. However, she suddenly developed acute facial paralysis. Although she is receiving coordinated treatment, sometimes her speech is still slurred. Is this a consequence of facial paralysis? Does facial paralysis cause slurred speech?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, people with facial paralysis, due to the stiffness of facial expressions caused by the inability of the nervous system to control the facial nerves, will interfere with a person's response, leading to unfavorable speech and accompanied by uncontrollable leakage of fluid. After facial paralysis, there will be no interference with normal communication. Some patients may have some sequelae if they are not treated properly or in a timely manner, but these are very few. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
