Question
Lately, I’ve been feeling dizzy and my facial muscles have been twitching involuntarily, which feels very strange. Yesterday, when I was sleeping, I noticed that my mouth and eyes were crooked, looking quite terrifying. When I talk, I leak air, and I also dribble saliva. I’ve tried some methods, but none have been able to fully recover. After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was facial paralysis. I want to know, what causes facial paralysis?
