Patient's question:
My little nephew is six years old. He was originally a lively, cute, and energetic child. But recently, the whole family has been worried sick. He suddenly became quiet and unresponsive, with no expression on his face. Many times, he had no reaction at all. Upon careful examination, it was found to be facial paralysis. How is facial paralysis caused?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a type of facial nerve inflammation, and its incidence rate is generally very high. The recurrence is related to factors such as postnatal psychological trauma, infection, and tumor removal. The patient may suddenly experience mouth, incomplete eyelid closure, and sometimes the disappearance of nasolabial folds, as well as the loss of facial movement function on the affected side. In this case, it is necessary to actively provide special training for facial muscles, as well as acupuncture treatment and nerve nutrition.
