Pain & Chuna · Facial Palsy · Shingles
A face that suddenly changed and discomfort that lingers —
we start by checking your current condition
With facial palsy, it is important to check when the symptoms started and how your face moves now. After shingles, pain or abnormal sensations can remain even after the skin lesions have improved.
When your facial movement suddenly changes, or pain and discomfort continue after shingles, your anxiety can grow. At NuA, care begins by first checking when your symptoms started, your current condition, and the tests and treatment you have had so far.
Facial palsy 01
What are the symptoms of facial palsy?
It can appear in various forms: movement on one side of the face becomes sluggish, the eye does not close well, or movement around the mouth changes. If symptoms such as weakness in an arm or leg, slurred speech, or a severe headache or dizziness appear together, an emergency evaluation may be needed first.
