Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed a leaky airflow from under my mouth to my eyes, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said this is facial paralysis. How is facial paralysis caused?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a common disease characterized by dysfunction of facial expression muscle movement. Facial neuritis, also known as facial nerve palsy (i.e., facial nerve paralysis), "crooked mouth," or "wry mouth," is a disease primarily characterized by dysfunction of the facial expression muscle group. The fundamental cause of Bell's palsy is based on cervical misalignment, nerve drooping, and compression leading to nerve spasm, resulting in facial paralysis. For patients with complete collapse of facial muscles, the main treatment methods typically include acupuncture, facial massage stimulation, and other methods. In daily life, it is important to rest more, drink plenty of water, avoid smoking, drinking beer, strictly prohibit spicy foods, and do not use electric fans or expose yourself to cold air in cold weather. Always keep your head warm.
