Patient's question:
I am already 23 years old this year. Since childhood, my face has rarely shown expressions. Everyone says I am a face-palmer. Even now, while training outside, I feel it is affecting my training, and it may also affect my future expansion. How should I treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve palsy, also known as "facial paralysis," is a common disease in neurology. The main symptoms include sudden paralysis of one side of the face, inability to close the eyelids, tearing, and the loss of facial expression movements, among many others. If your condition is indeed facial paralysis, it is recommended that you promptly visit a regular public hospital to see a neurologist for a follow-up examination. The specialist doctor will conduct a thorough examination based on your actual condition to make a diagnosis. If it is confirmed to be facial paralysis, the cause of the paralysis needs to be identified. Treatment should be targeted based on the cause, using methods such as acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, or surgery. Additionally, you should focus on self-care and maintaining your health. With persistent effort, the condition can be cured.
