Question
My mother recently developed drooping of the lips and eyes without any apparent cause, occasionally having difficulty spitting out saliva, some say it resembles a stroke, while others compare it to facial paralysis.
Answer
Facial paralysis is a common disease, typically caused by wind-cold invasion leading to drooping lips and eyes. It is recommended that you seek diagnosis and treatment at a reputable facial nerve hospital to alleviate symptoms and save medical expenses. Do not self-medicate recklessly, as this may affect diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
