A member asked:
What to do if my face has become asymmetrical and neck sniff when smiling, bell's palsy or synkinesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a neurologist: Bell's palsy, a peripheral facial paralysis. It usually results from edema due to an inflammatory process and compression of the swollen nerve inside the facial canal or stylomastoid foramen. Although the cause of the edema is undetermined, some researchers believe it is related to the herpes simplex virus.
