Patient's question:
When I was young, I suffered from facial paralysis because I didn't take care of my health, but it was cured later. Recently, I feel uncomfortable in my face, and I want to consult: What are the sequelae of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy, also known as facial nerve palsy, is commonly referred to as facial paralysis,mouth, orface in colloquial terms. During the recovery period from facial paralysis, patients should rest appropriately, and facial care should focus on maintaining continuous warmth protection for the face. Post-stroke refers to cases where the condition persists for more than 30 days without improvement, or cases that are referred to the department after failing to respond to treatment elsewhere.After complete recovery from facial paralysis, when frowning, additional wrinkles may still appear, and the eyes may not close completely. Sometimes, tears may involuntarily run down the face. The number of facial wrinkles may also increase compared to before the onset of the condition. Even when the mouth is opened widely, it may still droop involuntarily. The face may also become numb, with facial spasms, pain, stiffness, and a lack of natural movement. Head dizziness may also occur.
