Question
I’ve had congenital facial paralysis for 21 years now, and I can’t move the left corner of my mouth. I can’t raise my eyebrows, and the facial muscles on the left side of my face are curved. When I blow up my cheeks, air leaks out. Other than that, my eyes and everything else are fine, but my mouth is crooked. I’d like to ask, what kind of rehabilitation treatment do I need?
Answer
Based on your current description, you mentioned that you have been suffering from congenital facial paralysis for 21 years, and the main issue now is that the left corner of your mouth cannot move. This recurrence is primarily considered to be due to damage to the facial nerve. Considering your current condition, the treatment effect may not be very promising. It is recommended that you nourish the nerves and implement acupuncture to assist in nourishment. Avoid overtime work and wish you good health. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate your mental and physical health, and maintain personal hygiene.
