What are the precursors of facial paralysis, and are there any special signs of facial paralysis?

In addition to the unnatural movement of facial muscles, some people will feel that their eyes are astringent, grinding, and painful. About 30% of patients will have a tongue on the affected side, a wrong sense of taste, and a numb, metallic sensation.

About 40% of patients will feel that there is a very loud sound in the ears, like a child crying, or like a car horn, which is very harsh. More than 40% of patients will have pain behind the ear on the affected side, which must be taken seriously and is often a manifestation of poor prognosis.

About 15% of patients will have eyelid beating and forehead beating before facial paralysis occurs, and about 15% of patients will have a feeling similar to stiff neck, behind the ears, behind the neck and in the occipital area there is an indescribable discomfort and numbness, and some people have the feeling of having electricity. At the same time, patients in the early stage of facial paralysis will have depressed mood, irritability, and unpleasant manifestations.

The early symptoms of facial nerve paralysis include facial numbness, paresthesia when eating, and facial neuritis usually peaks after two days, and the mouth and mouth may be crooked.

Most patients with facial paralysis have a history of fatigue, that is, staying up late before the onset of the disease, high work pressure, and irregular life, etc., which cause a decrease in immunity. Patients may experience weakness, extreme fatigue, numbness or pain in the face.

Usually like the early stage of a cold, with tears and numbness on one side of the face.

There are two main manifestations of facial paralysis, one is central facial paralysis and the other is peripheral facial paralysis. Central facial paralysis is facial paralysis caused by damage to upper motor neurons above the nucleus of the facial nerve, and is mostly caused by cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, inflammation, and demyelination above the cerebral hemispheres. It is only manifested as a crooked mouth when the teeth are grinning, and this phenomenon is crooked.

Sometimes facial paralysis, central facial paralysis, and central facial tongue paralysis are mostly combined. Therefore, sometimes there is both central facial paralysis and a manifestation of central tongue palsy, when the tongue is protruded tilted towards the affected side.

The other is peripheral facial palsy, which is caused by damage to the area below the nucleus of the facial nerve, which can cause the paralysis of all the facial expression muscles on one side, from top to bottom. First of all, if you can't raise your eyebrows, you can't frown your eyebrows, that is, your forehead lines become shallow. In addition, the orbicularis oculi muscle is affected, which can cause eye closure disorder, weak closure, or inability to close, and the eyeball turns up when the eye is closed, which is called Bell's phenomenon.

In addition, when grinning, the mouth will be tilted to the unaffected side.

Nowadays, more and more people have been doing high-intensity work in order to make their lives better, but these jobs can easily cause pressure on themselves, and long-term exposure to this situation will cause compression on the nerves in the body, and some people will cause facial nerve damage, resulting in facial paralysis.

Don't think that facial paralysis is a good adjective, it belongs to a disease, if it is not received in time, it will have a great impact on life and work. The following are three typical symptoms of facial paralysis, carefully check to see if you have hit a thunderbolt.

Facial symptoms are pronounced.

If you want to distinguish which people are facial paralysis in life, and which people are normal, in fact, you can clearly distinguish them by looking at their faces. Because the facial nerve of a patient with facial paralysis is damaged, he cannot make expressions that ordinary people can do, and when he wants to do it, he feels twitching.

In addition, the muscles on both sides of a person with facial paralysis are very asymmetrical, which can be clearly seen with the naked eye. Usually one side of the muscle is paralyzed, and the other side has some sensation, which is why they make expressions as if they are twitching.

Eye movements do not work properly.

Observing a person's eye symptoms can also determine whether the person is a person with facial paralysis. Generally speaking, when a normal person completes bilateral blink movements, the rotation of both eyeballs is symmetrical. Patients with facial paralysis are unable to control both eyeballs at the same time due to facial nerve damage, and there will be obvious asymmetry when performing this exercise.

In addition, when people with facial paralysis close their eyes, they can also observe that the eyelashes of one side of the eye will leak out significantly, which is the side of the facial nerve that is damaged.

Unable to control the mouth well.

The symptoms of people with facial paralysis are also manifested in the mouth, and the nerves around the mouth are also implicated in the facial nerves, so people with facial paralysis are not able to control the movement of the mouth well. For example, in some people with facial paralysis, the mouth cannot be closed symmetrically, and some tilt can be clearly seen after closing. And when the patient opens his mouth wide, saliva will run down.

In addition, the amount of saliva secreted by patients with facial paralysis is also higher than that of normal people.

Facial numbness, pain, stiffness, crooked mouth and eyes, drooling, and incomplete eyelid closure may occur. It should be actively carried out**, giving some antiviral drugs, hormone drugs, nerve-nourishing drugs, and acupuncture**.

Symptom 1: Generally, there are some precursors before the onset of the disease, and many facial paralysis we react to the feeling of discomfort in the body, which will produce some anxious, depressed, pessimistic and misanthropic emotions, coupled with people's irregular life, which will make people's normal work and life unable to proceed, thus reducing the body's disease resistance and low immunity.

Symptom 2: The facial expression muscles on the affected side are completely paralyzed, the forehead wrinkles disappear, the eye fissures widen, the nasolabial folds are flat, the corners of the mouth are drooping, and the corners of the mouth are crooked to the healthy side when the teeth are exposed. The affected side should not make movements such as frowning, frowning, closing eyes, puffing up, and pouting.

Symptom 3: When the cheeks are puffed up and whistled, the lips on the affected side cannot be closed and the air leaks. When eating, food debris often retains in the interdental space of the affected side, and saliva often flows down the affected side. Because the punctum turns inward with the lower eyelid, the tears cannot drain normally and overflow.

Facial paralysis can occur at any age, with the most common occurring in 20 to 40 years old, and slightly more in men. The vast majority are one-sided, and the onset is not seasonal. It usually presents acutely and manifests as crooked corners of the mouth, sloppy speech, especially whistling or laughing, and can peak within 48 hours.

Yang Yining said that during the examination of facial paralysis, it can be seen that the facial expression muscles on the affected side are paralyzed, the frontal lines disappear, the eye fissures are expanded, the corners of the mouth are drooping, the face is pulled to the healthy side, and the affected side cannot wrinkle the forehead, close the eyes, show teeth, puff up and whistle. When the eyes are closed, the paralyzed side of the eye turns upwards to expose the white sclera. When blowing and whistling, air leaks because the lip on the affected side does not close.
