Question
Recently, my father noticed that one side of his face was not as flexible when brushing his teeth, followed by a crooked mouth and a sensation similar to a spasm. Although the symptoms subsided after a while, he was later diagnosed with facial palsy. I would like to ask what should be done now?
Answer
Facial palsy is a common and frequently occurring disease, usually caused by wind-cold invasion, which can lead to distortion of the mouth and eyes. It is recommended that you visit a regular facial nerve hospital for diagnosis, as this not only helps alleviate the condition but also early detection and treatment can save medical expenses. Do not self-medicate arbitrarily, as this may interfere with diagnosis and affect the effectiveness of treatment.
