Question
A patient inquires about facial paralysis and nasal atrophy and seeks treatment methods for facial paralysis.
Answer
Facial paralysis is a common neurological disorder, categorized into two types: supranuclear palsy and infranuclear palsy. The main symptoms include weakness on one side of the facial expression muscles, manifested as the disappearance of forehead furrows and crooked mouth corners. Generally, facial paralysis does not involve changes in the nose, and even if there are changes, they rarely lead to nasal swelling due to the nose’s central position on the face. Considering your symptoms, it is recommended that you seek detailed examination at a specialized hospital in a timely manner, receive an accurate diagnosis, and then undergo treatment.
