I woke up this morning with a crooked mouth (facial paralysis/Bell's Palsy).

Overwork and stress have weakened your immune system, allowing a virus to invade the facial nerve (Bell's palsy). While not an emergency, treatment within the first 3 days (the golden time) determines the prognosis. Please come in immediately.

갑자기 거울 보고 놀라셨겠지만, 말초성 마비는 대부분 잘 낫습니다.

  • 중풍 감별: 이마 주름을 잡아보세요. 주름이 잡히지 않으면 구안와사(말초성)이고, 주름이 잡히면 뇌졸중(중추성)을 의심해야 하므로 응급실로 가야 합니다.
  • 동반 증상: 귀 뒤가 뻐근하게 아프거나, 미각이 둔해지고, 눈물이 흐를 수 있습니다.
⚠️ 귀 통증

귀 주변이 붉게 붓거나 수포가 생기면 "람세이헌트 증후군"으로, 일반 벨 마비보다 예후가 나쁠 수 있어 고용량 항바이러스제가 필요합니다.
