Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. What are the causes of facial nerve palsy?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve palsy is generally divided into two types: central facial nerve palsy and peripheral facial nerve palsy. Cerebrovascular diseases often cause central facial nerve palsy, while peripheral facial nerve palsy is mostly caused by infections and ear-related diseases. Common clinical symptoms include crooked mouth corners, incomplete eyelid closure, drooling from the corners of the mouth, unclear speech, and incoherent answers. Treatment is aimed at addressing the cause of the disease, including antiviral therapy, nerve nutrition, and hormone therapy, in addition to rehabilitation treatment.
