Patient's question:
I met my husband's aunt on the street last week and noticed her mouth was twisted. She used to have a very good face, and her mouth wasn't twisted before. Just a few days of not seeing her, her mouth was twisted so badly. Yesterday, my mother-in-law told me that my aunt might have facial paralysis, which caused the twisted mouth.What kind of help is needed: What symptoms might facial paralysis reappear with?
Doctor's answer:
For those with complete collapse of the facial expression muscles on the affected side, the forehead wrinkles disappear, the eye fissure widens, the nasolabial groove flattens, and the corners of the mouth droop, with the mouth corner deviating to the healthy side when showing teeth. This is one of the definitive diagnostic methods for facial paralysis. Most patients often discover sudden facial paralysis on one side while washing their face in the morning, noticing that one side of their face is immobile and their mouth droops. This is also a common diagnostic method for facial paralysis. The above suggestions are for this issue, and it is hoped that they will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
