What Are the Symptoms of Facial Paralysis?

Question

What are the most common symptoms that manifest in the early stages of facial paralysis?

Answer

Hello, here are the symptoms of facial paralysis: blepharospasm, where when the examiner applies pressure to the closed upper eyelid, one side of the upper eyelid exhibits a slight muscle twitching phenomenon, while the other side does not. This indicates a mild facial nerve palsy, commonly seen in peripheral facial nerve palsy. These symptoms often occur around the eyelids. If you notice these symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.
