Question
Facial paralysis with lip sag and impairment of eye closure, experiencing sharp headache. Currently, severe headache, dizziness, and nausea phenomena are very serious. Why does facial paralysis cause headaches? What is the situation with facial paralysis accompanied by headaches?
Answer
The main cause of facial paralysis is damage to the facial nerve, which leads to the inability of facial muscles to function normally. In this case, headaches may be due to discomfort caused by nerve edema. Timely and active treatment is key, and it is generally not recommended to use acupuncture in the early stages of the disease, as excessive stimulation may be detrimental to future recovery. It is recommended to seek treatment at a hospital with a specialist in facial nerve diseases.
