What are the signs of facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

I saw a person who had facial paralysis. I thought it was scary. I want to know what are the signs of facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: Bell's palsy usually has no warning signs and can be divided into peripheral facial nerve palsy and central facial nerve palsy. Peripheral facial nerve palsy is related to viral infections, pressure, and exposure to cold wind, so it is recommended to wear a mask during winter and spring seasons. During the acute phase of facial nerve palsy, oral corticosteroids and neurotrophic drugs are needed. Peripheral facial nerve palsy generally has a good prognosis.
