A member asked:
I've had a facial muscle twitch off and on for three weeks. is there anything i can take for this or should i consult a doctor? what type of dr?

See neurologist: You could have developed hemifacial spasms, or even focal facial seizures, less likely facial myokymia. This should NOT be ignored. You cannot treat this on your own, you need a diagnosis and appropriate interventions.
