Patient's question:
The other day, I was having dinner and drinking beer with the older brother from the neighboring house. Suddenly, I didn't know how, his face started twitching. Later, I learned it was a symptom of facial paralysis. What is the prognosis for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Most patients with facial paralysis often notice in the morning that one side of their cheek cannot move normally and is drooping. Before the facial muscles on one side of the face completely deteriorate, forehead wrinkles disappear, eye fissures widen, nasolabial folds become deeper, and the corners of the mouth curve when teeth are exposed, with the corner of the mouth on the healthy side deviating. Facial paralysis is a facial nerve disease. More cases of facial paralysis can severely interfere with the daily lives of patients with facial paralysis. It is essential to treat facial paralysis promptly after diagnosis. If you feel that your face is not right, please go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition. Wishing you a happy life!
