Question

What is facial palsy?

Answer

Facial palsy refers to an idiopathic, acute onset unilateral peripheral facial nerve paralysis. It is a common condition. The symptoms of this type of palsy are usually quite severe, and the incidence of peripheral facial palsy is very high in clinical practice. Facial palsy can have a significant impact on children, and if not treated promptly or with the correct treatment methods, the condition may deteriorate rapidly, posing serious harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek medical treatment promptly.
