Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of facial paralysis in children? Is it present at birth? Why is this the case? Can it have the chance to heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis, Bell's palsy, and otitis media mastoiditis are common causes of facial paralysis in children, especially due to trauma. This, apart from a very small number of patients with congenital deformities and malignant diseases. Acute leukemia-induced peripheral facial paralysis accompanied by leukemic meningitis can lead to facial paralysis during leukemia treatment. Psychological factors are one of the important causes of facial paralysis. In the recurrence of facial paralysis, a considerable number of patients experience physical fatigue, lack of sleep, mental tension, and physical discomfort.
