Can Bell's palsy leave sequelae?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. Will facial paralysis leave sequelae?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, this situation should not be a manifestation of facial paralysis, and there is no need to be overly concerned. If it were truly a case of facial paralysis, it would likely manifest as crooked mouth corners, drooling, and the inability to close the eyes. The symptoms would be very typical. Therefore, this situation is unlikely to resemble the symptoms of facial paralysis. It is advisable to seek further medical examination to understand the issue better. Generally speaking, under these circumstances, it should not lead to any sequelae.
