Patient's question:
Recently, the weather has been windy quite often, which has led to me riding my electric bike to and from school, causing my facial nerve to feel a bit abnormal. One eyelid keeps twitching, and it's very difficult for me. I'm only 20 this year. What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy can be divided into peripheral facial palsy and central facial palsy. Peripheral facial palsy manifests as the collapse of muscles on one side of the face. Actions such as squinting, frowning, and showing teeth cannot be controlled by the peripheral nerves on that side. The collapse of facial muscles is related, and additional corrective measures cannot be taken. Central facial palsy reappears with smaller amplitude and the corrective measures performed are less than normal, but it does have partial functionality. It is necessary to identify the disease through peripheral facial palsy and central facial palsy for targeted treatment.
