Patient's question:
Mother has recently been saying that her facial nerves are twitching sometimes and her mouth may still have mild and complete twists. I wonder if my mother is suffering from facial paralysis. Hello, what are the symptoms of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Patients with facial paralysis may experience bulging eyes. The two eyes are not at the same level. The side that collapses will be more affected, and the pupil on that side can also be noticed. On the healthy side, it is below the horizontal, which is also a symptom of facial paralysis. The lacrimal glands may have secretory disorders. The facial nerve of the lacrimal gland may secrete too little tears, even leading to dry eye symptoms. However, on the other side, under normal circumstances, tears can be secreted.
