Question
Is the lack of facial expression a symptom of facial paralysis? What are the distinct characteristics of facial paralysis? Is it treatable? What are the treatment methods?
Answer
The typical symptoms of facial paralysis usually include facial distortion, but merely lacking expression is not sufficient to diagnose facial paralysis; it may be related to individual constitution or personality. It is recommended to consult a neurology department for a detailed examination. Facial paralysis often accompanies facial nerve palsy and may require the use of nerve-nourishing medications and physical therapy for rehabilitation.
