Does asymmetric crying always involve having one eye shut? And how I find out if my happy has had birth trauma? Can this be treated or does it resolve through time? The doctors didn t notice asymmetric crying in my baby until now, he is eight month old is it normal. And when he cries he doesn t have one eye shut. I need advice on what treatment or tests should be done.
Hi...by what you quote I feel that it is a paralysis of the facial nerve on the side of the eye is not closing. This is called Bells Palsy. This might require steroids of a week or two. It will gradually get better. But I suggest you get the consultation of your pediatrician regarding this based on the diagnosis I have suggested. No tests need to be done. Regards -
