Question

A friend of mine, still quite young, recently discovered pain behind the left ear and an unnatural smile, even with a crooked mouth, which was diagnosed by a doctor as facial paralysis.

Answer

Facial paralysis is a common and often recurrent condition, usually caused by exposure to cold and wind, leading to distorted facial expressions. It is a disease characterized primarily by a dysfunction in the facial expression muscle groups. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular facial nerve hospital as soon as possible. This not only helps alleviate symptoms but also early detection and treatment can save medical expenses. Do not self-medicate to avoid affecting diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
