Question
My nephew’s face suddenly lost the ability to smile and he doesn’t have any other expressions. What are the main symptoms of facial paralysis?
Answer
The typical clinical diagnosis symptoms of facial paralysis include a lack of facial expression, crooked mouth corners, diminished forehead wrinkles, and a flatter nasolabial groove. Those who exhibit these symptoms, with more pronounced drooping during smiles, are highly likely to be suffering from facial paralysis. If the symptoms of facial paralysis reappear, it is crucial to seek immediate medical intervention, as delayed treatment timing may lead to complications. In cases of mild facial paralysis, in addition to the reappearance of blink movements, specific symptoms may also include the recurrence of eyelid tremors.
