What Causes Sudden Weakness In The Left Side Of The Face?
Question: my husband is 78 and is having pain in his neck. He also has drooping on the left side of his face, his eye and his mouth.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to stroke.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Drooping on one side of the face can be suggestive of a stroke. This needs proper evaluation by a physician and treatment should be started accordingly. The pain in the neck can be related to a muscle pain that can be relieved with rest, pain killers and hot compress.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
