Question
My grandfather had a stroke last time, and his facial expressions have become somewhat involuntary. Could this be facial paralysis? What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?
Answer
Hello, facial paralysis can be categorized into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. Central facial paralysis is mainly a sequelae caused by cerebrovascular diseases, and your grandfather’s condition may be central facial paralysis. This situation requires a complete recovery process. Peripheral facial paralysis is usually caused by viral infections from a cold. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
