What department should I go to the hospital for if I have facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

Grandma woke up on the bed yesterday morning and suddenly had a recurrence of facial paralysis, with her mouth drooping to one side, and she could no longer speak clearly. For facial paralysis, what department should one go to at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

According to your current condition, it may be due to a recurrence of facial drooping and slurred speech caused by a cerebral infarction. You can consider going to the hospital for a brain MRI scan to further clarify the issue. It is necessary to consult a neurology department for further confirmation. Generally, after timely medication, this condition will significantly improve.
