Many cases of peripheral facial paralysis due to weather changes.

Facial paralysis due to cold is a condition of sudden weakness or paralysis of one side of the facial muscles. Patients often have crooked mouths, eyes that cannot close properly, difficulty speaking, and difficulty eating and drinking. According to doctors, at the time of changing seasons when the temperature changes suddenly, peripheral facial paralysis often increases, especially for people with low resistance, often staying up late, drinking alcohol or riding a motorbike without properly covering the face and neck area.

Doctors recommend that when there are symptoms such as crooked mouth, eyes not closing tightly, and spilling water while drinking, people should go to a medical facility for early intervention and absolutely not apply folk remedies, which will cause them to miss the golden stage of treatment. Late or incorrect treatment can cause nerve degeneration, making it difficult to fully recover.
