Patient's question:
I feel like I'm having a facial paralysis, I just want to make expressions but can't. What are the symptoms of facial paralysis? What usually reappears with facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
A middle-aged man found that he seemed to be suffering from facial paralysis. He couldn't make expressions, and this situation required high attention. Generally, simple facial paralysis is characterized by the disappearance of forehead wrinkles on one side, the inability to close the eyes, shallowing of the nasolabial groove on the same side, and the corner of the mouth tilting toward the normal side. On the affected side of facial paralysis, there may be leakage when drinking water and difficulty blowing air. However, it is also necessary to rule out the possibility of accompanying cerebral infarction, so it is essential to go to the hospital as soon as possible. It is best to have a CT scan.
