Question
Does facial paralysis cause pain?
Answer
Facial paralysis can cause recurring pain and numbness, and may also lead to difficulty in facial expressions, causing tears to stream from the eyes. It may also result in a decrease in the taste sensation of the tongue. It is suggested to take B vitamin medications, in addition to hormone therapy, and to complement with traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy. Those with facial paralysis should prevent exposure to cold winds to avoid exacerbating the condition.
