Question

This person used to be especially beautiful, but one night they felt as if they had had a stroke, suddenly their mouth was crooked, and then they went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The hospital said that it was a bit late to bring them in, and it couldn’t be fixed anymore, saying it was mild facial paralysis. I’m here to ask everyone what is mild facial paralysis.

Answer

Facial paralysis occurs when the facial nerve is chilled or damaged, leading to facial nerve palsy. Symptoms typically include a crooked mouth, drooling, incomplete eyelid closure, and shallow forehead furrows. Treatment during the acute phase generally involves symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, with acupuncture and electrotherapy provided during the recovery period. Generally, complete recovery of the nerve can be a lengthy process, so there may be some residual symptoms.
