Patient's question:
I am currently experiencing a slight numbness in my facial nerves due to catching a cold from the wind. It's like I can't make any expressions on my face at all. Sometimes, even when I'm drinking water, my mouth is crooked. It seems to be what is known as facial paralysis in medical terms. What does facial paralysis mean?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you face-pale one. Actually, this diagnosis is mainly based on your symptoms. That is to say, your facial muscles may become stiff again, and then you may experience drooping of the mouth and eyes, possibly accompanied by drooling. There are many possible causes of facial paralysis, so in addition to nerve nutrition, you need to treat the primary disease.
