Question
Patient Age: 56 years old Medical History: Diabetes for 9 years Current Condition: I recently noticed that my father’s mouth is a bit crooked. He feels numbness on one side of his face, his mouth is tilted to one side, and sometimes he dribbles saliva. Could this be facial paralysis? Is it treatable? Please inform me, thank you.
Answer
If there is no numbness in the limbs on the affected side, this could indeed be facial paralysis. Treatment is not difficult, and it is recommended to seek standardized treatment at a hospital. We know that facial paralysis can cause great harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can worsen rapidly, posing significant harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment promptly.
