What Should You Do If Your Child Has Facial Palsy?

Question

What should I do if my child has facial palsy, as they always have one side of their face immobile when they laugh?

Answer

Facial palsy may be caused by intracranial tumors, inflammation, vascular changes, or other factors leading to a dysfunction of the facial nerve. The treatment method should be determined according to the specific cause, which may include medication, physical therapy, and acupuncture. Parents should keep their child’s mood joyful and avoid causing psychological pressure on them.
