What should I do if my child has facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

My baby got facial paralysis, the left side of his face doesn't move when he smiles. Hello, what should I do if the child has facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Bell's palsy is caused by intracranial tumors, inflammation, or cerebrovascular disease. If it is a peripheral facial nerve palsy with infectious inflammation, it leads to the collapse of facial expression muscles, widening of the eyelid, and disappearance of forehead wrinkles. Treatment should be tailored to the specific cause. Some patients may achieve complete recovery through physical therapy or acupuncture. It is important to maintain a calm mood and avoid psychological stress in daily life.
