Patient's question:
A few days ago, my grandfather was cooking, but for some reason, he couldn't answer questions and his face was twisted. My dad was scared and quickly took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my grandfather had facial paralysis. My grandfather has always been very healthy, so how could he suddenly get facial paralysis? How is facial paralysis treated?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve palsy is also known as facial neuritis, Bell's palsy, or Hunt's syndrome. It is also referred to as "facial paralysis," "crooked mouth," "wry mouth," or "facial twitching." It is a common disease characterized primarily by the dysfunction of facial expression muscles. The general symptom is mouth and eye deviation. It is a common and frequently occurring disease that is not affected by age. Therefore, when abnormal conditions arise, it is important to seek treatment promptly.
