Question
The patient has been feeling uncomfortable all over recently. What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a relatively common neurological disease in clinical diagnosis, also known as facial nerve palsy, or Bell’s palsy. It is a peripheral nerve disorder. The clinical manifestation is functional impairment of the facial expression muscles on the affected side, such as inability to furrow the brows, close the eyes, pout, whistle, or have a crooked mouth. During the acute phase of this disease, hormone treatment can be used. At the same time, it is recommended to combine Chinese medicine and acupuncture for treatment, which tends to yield better results.
