What Causes Partial Paralysis In The Left Side Of The Body?
Question: 14 year old daughter. Slight paralysis on the left side of her face, she can't hear out of left ear, blurred vision in left eye. She had a head cold over a week ago with both ears hurting, throat hurting and slight cough. Used over the counter meds and seemed to clear up. But last night when she smiled or closed eyes only part of her face moved. She cant hear out of ear and has slightly blurred vision. Blood pressure is 117/85. No fever. Should we go see her pediatrician or... we have no health insurance right now.
