What causes a crooked mouth?

Many people will turn on fans or air conditioners when they can't stand the heat, but they don't know that the human body is relatively weak after sweating. At this time, suddenly catching a cold will cause nerve spasms and lead to symptoms of crooked mouth and squinting eyes. In addition, when the body is invaded by viruses or is under too much pressure, it will also cause symptoms of crooked mouth.

Wind-cold factors: According to the survey, 53% of facial paralysis patients were exposed to cold wind, cold water and other stimulations on the affected side of their head before the onset of the disease, ranking first among the causes of facial paralysis. This shows that facial nerve microcirculation disorder plays a dominant role in the pathogenesis of facial paralysis. Many patients sweat after physical activities, and for the sake of temporary relief, they use electric fans or air conditioners to blow directly on their heads. However, they do not know that the body's resistance is at its lowest point at this time. When exposed to cold, the blood vessels of the facial nerve spasm, causing ischemia and edema of the facial nerve and triggering facial paralysis.

In addition to sudden colds that can easily lead to facial paralysis, viral infection is also one of the causes of facial paralysis. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, the cause of facial paralysis is mostly due to empty blood vessels and exposure to wind and cold. The second is liver and kidney yin deficiency and wind-yang disturbance. The third is excessive emotions, as well as internal capsule damage, intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial tumors, infection, congenital facial nerve nuclear dysplasia and many other factors.

Excessive fatigue leads to a decrease in one's own immunity, which in turn causes facial paralysis: More than one-fifth of patients with facial paralysis have a history of excessive fatigue a few days before the onset of the disease, ranking second. It is worth noting that as the pace of life accelerates and competition becomes increasingly fierce, people need to face pressure from all aspects such as work and family life.
