Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift his head, can roll over, and has a normal appetite. There are no other significant abnormalities, but sometimes he trembles. What are the initial symptoms of pediatric facial paralysis?
Answer
If a child has facial paralysis, it can lead to clinical manifestations such as drooling from the corners of the mouth, inability to furrow the brows, or loss of normal facial muscle function. If you are worried that your child may have facial paralysis, it is important to take them to the hospital for a check-up on the facial nerve condition. Immediate medication treatment should be administered if any nerve damage is detected.
