So what is really facial paralysis, and why does this happen?

What is facial paralysis?

Facial paralysis occurs when there is a loss of voluntary muscle movement in the face. This usually affects a side of the face and can take everyday action such as smiling, blinking or difficult speaking. Depending on the cause, the condition may gradually develop or suddenly appear, as Lill is in NAS X.

Common causes of facial paralysis

The most common cause of sudden facial paralysis is vine palsy, a condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles due to inflammation of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke (Ninds), Bell’s palsy can affect anyone, but is more likely in people with diabetes, who are overcome from a viral infection, or pregnant women.

Other possible causes include:

• Stroke – Although stroke usually causes additional symptoms beyond facial paralysis, it is important to exclude it.
• Viral infection-virus such as herpes simplex, Epstein-bar, and even flu may trigger facial nerve inflammation.
• Scrubness
• Tumor
• Neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis

Is facial paralysis permanent?

In most cases, especially with vine palsy, facial paralysis is temporary. A neurologist and clinical professor at the University of California. According to Mitchell Brin, “Most patients are completely cured within three to six months. Early medical attention and treatment can significantly improve the results.”

Treatment often involves:

• Corticosteroids to reduce nerve inflammation.
• Antiviral drug if a viral infection is suspected.
• Physical therapy to stimulate facial muscles.
• Eye care, since the eyelids may be affected, can put the eye at risk of dryness or damage.

Prevention and risk reduction

While not all cases are eligible to be stopped, maintaining overall health can reduce the risk. Here are a few tips:

• Manage stress and immunity: viral infections often trigger vine palsy, so it is necessary to keep the immune system strong.
• Stay hydrated and nourished, and avoid the use of excessive alcohol or tobacco.
• Treat infections immediately, especially upper respiratory infections.
• To protect against cold drafts, some studies have associated with Bell’s Palsy.
• If you are suffering from nerve issues, practice facial practice to keep the muscles active and responsible.
