Question

It’s particularly cold when I drop my baby off at school in winter, but the baby often doesn’t wear a hat. I noticed that the baby’s face is slightly crooked, and food often leaks out from the corner of the mouth when eating. After checking, it turned out to be pediatric facial paralysis. What causes pediatric facial paralysis?

Answer

Pediatric facial paralysis can be caused by many factors. Facial nerve disarray can lead to facial paralysis. Prolonged exposure to cold or external pressure may cause facial paralysis, along with body changes or psychological stress. It can also lead to facial paralysis, which can be controlled with medication. Possible causes of pediatric facial nerve palsy may include facial wind, exposure to cold, prolonged overexertion, mental tension leading to decreased immunity, or cerebrovascular diseases, viral infections, and so on. It is recommended to consult a regular three-level A hospital and listen to expert opinions to make targeted treatments to avoid missing the best treatment time.
