Question
One day ago, my mouth went limp, and my eyes were watering.
Answer
The diagnosis of a clear peripheral and central facial paralysis is not difficult. However, sometimes mild facial paralysis can be very atypical. Particularly when the onset is gradual and shows chronic progression, it can easily lead to misdiagnosis if not carefully examined. Patients with facial paralysis should not rush to worry after the onset but should be proactive and seek medical attention as soon as possible to create a good opportunity for the doctor’s diagnosis. The timeliness of seeking a consultation directly affects the prognosis of facial paralysis.
