    2.Combined facial exercises.

    The corners of the mouth move toward the affected side when the eyes are closed, or the eyes are closed on the affected side when the corners of the mouth are moved.

    3.Crocodile tear syndrome.

    Tearing in patients with facial paralysis is often accompanied by facial muscle spasm or diffuse facial muscle reactions, and tears in patients with facial paralysis become constantly dry or even unable to shed tears.
