Question
My father suddenly developed symptoms of facial drooping and paralysis, accompanied by incontinence and difficulty in movement. How should we diagnose the condition and suggest appropriate treatment methods?
Answer
Based on the description, the patient may not only have facial paralysis but could also be suffering from cerebral infarction. In addition to the facial paralysis, the patient also exhibits symptoms of urinary incontinence and limb dysfunction. It is recommended to take the patient to the hospital immediately for a brain MRI to confirm the diagnosis, and it may be necessary to undergo blood circulation promotion, antiplatelet, and anticoagulant treatment.
