Question
A 14-month-old boy has sudden facial paralysis, eyes staring straight, arms stiff and rigid, and sometimes experiences 2 to 3 episodes per day.
Answer
The causes of facial nerve disorders are often related to facial exposure to cold, physical injury, or viral invasion. Initial symptoms include inflammation of the facial nerve, followed by typical symptoms such as drooping of the eyelid and tilt of the mouth. For pediatric epilepsy, if not treated promptly or with improper treatment methods, the condition may deteriorate rapidly, posing serious harm to children. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment early.
