Facial Paralysis Symptoms and Precautions
Symptoms of facial paralysis may include one-sided facial muscle weakness, leading to uncoordinated facial movements and a crooked mouth. Patients may notice these symptoms during morning grooming routines. Additionally, patients may be unable to perform facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, closing eyes, puffing out cheeks, and pouting. In severe cases, patients may experience drooling and food residue getting stuck between teeth and the cheeks. Due to improper tear drainage, there may be overflow of tears. During treatment, patients should ensure adequate rest, avoid overexertion, and follow the doctor’s professional advice.
