Question
Hello, my niece was born one month and a half prematurely. A few days ago, she had a high white blood cell count, which has now returned to normal. However, her mouth is crooked, especially when she cries. What’s going on? Can it get better gradually?
Answer
Firstly, it may be a normal phenomenon, so please don’t worry too much. Additionally, it could also be due to congenital facial nerve maldevelopment or damage. If the latter is the case, you can consider acupuncture treatment as the child grows up, or consult for electromyography. It is recommended to continue observing the situation. I hope this information is helpful to you.
