Panic when mouth distorted, face deviated after 1 night because of many habits people do on hot days

Waking up in the morning, Mr. Li suddenly saw his mouth distorted, eyes on one side closed so he rushed to Wenzhou City Central Hospital.

A few days ago, Mr. Li, 24, went to the Acupuncture Department of Wenzhou City Central Hospital. He said that when he woke up in the morning, he suddenly found himself unable to gargle. When he looked in the mirror, he saw that his left eye was larger than his right eye, the lower corner of his left mouth on the right. When the mouth moves also to the right, one side of the eye looks like it is closed.

Sheng Jun, an acupuncturist at the hospital after the examination said that Mr. Li is suffering from paralysis of peripheral VII nerves . Peripheral nerve VII paralysis often involves colds, viral infections . According to Mr. Li the night before after taking a bath, because it was hot, he opened the window when he slept cool but did not expect to receive this result.

Opening windows when sleeping will increase the risk of paralysis of peripheral nerves VII.

Fortunately, after a month of anti-inflammatory drugs combined with antiviral, neurological treatment and acupuncture, acuity, acupoint injection, Mr. Li recovered.

Doctor Sheng Jun said, nerve paralysis VII is divided into central nerve nerve paralysis and paralysis of peripheral nerves VII. Central VII nerve nerve paralysis usually occurs after a stroke, paralysis of peripheral VII nerves is a common and frequent disease that can occur at any age, and the incidence of Men and women are similar.

Common symptoms of paralysis of peripheral VII nerves mainly occur on one side, meaning that the mouth is deflected and the eyes are closed, teeth and lips are weak. In addition, there may be symptoms of post-ear pain, loss of taste, hearing loss, tears and saliva disturbances, which will make the patient feel the taste of previous bad food, always dry eyes.

Most patients, like Mr. Li, find that they cannot hold water when they brush their teeth after waking up in the morning.

The disease can be encountered at all times of the year but often occurs when the weather is suddenly cold, the weather is high or at the time of the season. There are cases of cold air conditioning, fans blowing into people, bathing late at night.

Seasonal weather uses cool fans, improper air-conditioning or in-room, cold-winded air, as Li's case of opening windows when sleeping will increase the risk. At that time, typhoid penetrates into the meridians in the face causing seizures (not circulating), leading to paralysis of peripheral nerves VII.

Common symptoms of paralysis of peripheral VII nerves mainly occur on one side.

Therefore, in daily life, we must also take precautions:

1. First, you should pay attention to keeping warm, you can wear a mask when going out.
2. Second, when driving or riding, it is best not to extend the window.
3. Tuesday, when tired or after a bath should not sit directly in front of the wind.
4. Fourth, try not to open the window to sleep.
5. Finally, exercise properly and eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
