Generally speaking, facial paralysis is mostly caused by viral infection. If it does not recover after three months or is treated improperly, it will develop into sequelae of facial paralysis. Ms. Liu can’t laugh, on the one hand, because the facial nerve has not been repaired, and on the other hand, there may be facial muscle atrophy .

What will happen if the sequelae of facial paralysis is not treated? If the sequelae of facial paralysis is delayed and not treated, the condition will become more and more serious. Not only will the pain worsen, but the intervals will also occur more and more frequently. In severe cases, it will be difficult to eat and speak.

The sequelae of facial paralysis caused by delayed harm:
1. The pain is intensified and the attacks are frequent. Long-term non-treatment may lead to normal eating, drinking water, talking, sleeping, washing face, and traveling, which directly affects life and work, and even loses the ability to work.
2. Physical and mental torture. The patient's body is getting thinner, insufficiency, fear, depression, autism, eccentricity, anxiety, irritability, psychological distortion, and even has serious thoughts of suicidal thoughts.
3. Severe complications. It may cause physical weakness, increase blood pressure, accelerate heart rate, and even coronary heart disease .
4. The treatment is more difficult. Early nerve damage is lighter and easier to recover. Once the patient delays treatment, it is likely that he will not be cured later.
Warm reminder
When facial paralysis occurs, I hope the patient will seek medical treatment in time. Especially for patients with sequelae of facial paralysis, they must seek help from doctors as soon as possible and receive effective treatment to avoid long-term incursions affecting their body and mind!
