00:00:03.234 --> 00:00:06.188 
In recent days, the weather in Hanoi has
become cold with low temperatures, 

00:00:06.188 --> 00:00:08.914 
causing many people to be hospitalized
due to attacking the 7th nerve. 

00:00:09.394 --> 00:00:13.613 
Ms. Vu Thu Phuong in Tu Liem ward, Hanoi
said that due to subjectively not 

00:00:13.613 --> 00:00:16.988 
keeping her face and neck warm when
going out during the cold 

00:00:16.988 --> 00:00:18.394 
weather, she suddenly became cold. 

00:00:18.914 --> 00:00:22.693 
After that, she developed a series of
abnormal symptoms such as numbness in 

00:00:22.693 --> 00:00:25.890 
one side of her tongue, mouth
distortion, eyes not closed, food 

00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:27.634 
spills, ear tumors and uncontrolled tears. 

00:00:27.634 --> 00:00:30.784 
When the symptoms became increasingly
obvious, seriously affecting daily life, 

00:00:30.784 --> 00:00:34.564 
Ms. Huong went to the Central Emergency
Hospital for examination and was 

00:00:34.564 --> 00:00:37.714 
diagnosed by doctors with a syndrome
of the 7th nerve. 

00:00:38.005 --> 00:00:39.585 
The day the weather changes 

00:00:39.585 --> 00:00:41.265 
Cold wind 

00:00:41.265 --> 00:00:42.685 
But I'm subjective 

00:00:42.685 --> 00:00:45.125 
Wear shorts 

00:00:45.125 --> 00:00:46.825 
So it's a cold 

00:00:47.565 --> 00:00:49.085 
So suddenly it's me 

00:00:49.085 --> 00:00:51.225 
The feeling of shivering 

00:00:51.225 --> 00:00:52.325 
Sensing numbness in the tongue 

00:00:52.325 --> 00:00:54.425 
I haven't seen any obvious signs either. 

00:00:54.425 --> 00:00:56.125 
But I woke up the next morning 

00:00:56.745 --> 00:00:59.385 
Seeing water splashing out 

00:00:59.385 --> 00:01:00.385 
And I looked back 

00:01:00.385 --> 00:01:01.625 
I see it in the mirror 

00:01:01.625 --> 00:01:03.345 
Startled to see that 

00:01:03.345 --> 00:01:05.265 
Misaligned mouth 

00:01:05.265 --> 00:01:07.505 
And eating is very inconvenient. 

00:01:07.505 --> 00:01:09.685 
Water keeps flowing 

00:01:09.685 --> 00:01:11.365 
Then the food just scattered 

00:01:11.365 --> 00:01:12.425 
Injections 

00:01:12.425 --> 00:01:13.865 
Then go for acupuncture. 

00:01:13.865 --> 00:01:15.765 
Hey, but luckily 

00:01:15.765 --> 00:01:17.065 
Also gradually recovering 

00:01:17.411 --> 00:01:21.116 
According to Specialist Doctor 1 Nguyen
Thi Hong Loan, Department of Outpatient 

00:01:21.116 --> 00:01:22.351 
Treatment, Central Care Hospital, 

00:01:22.811 --> 00:01:25.846 
The number of patients with paralysis of
the 7th nerve hospitalized recently 

00:01:25.846 --> 00:01:27.111 
has shown a clear increase. 

00:01:27.651 --> 00:01:32.722 
Notably, patients are not only seen in
the elderly but also in many young 

00:01:32.722 --> 00:01:34.171 
people, students, and workers. 

00:01:35.091 --> 00:01:38.563 
The main reason is that the body is
suddenly cold, causing the blood patches 

00:01:38.563 --> 00:01:40.051 
that nourish the nerves to contract, 

00:01:40.431 --> 00:01:42.471 
leading to neural coating and compression. 

00:01:43.353 --> 00:01:48.896 
This listless disease number 7 does not
depend on gender, age, or often 

00:01:48.896 --> 00:01:52.733 
encounters people with physical
weakness, health, and weak resistance. 

00:01:53.313 --> 00:01:57.253 
And not only old people,
young people, children. 

00:01:57.593 --> 00:02:01.161 
We also encounter many patients who come
for treatment in many places but 

00:02:01.161 --> 00:02:02.533 
not in the right way. 

00:02:02.533 --> 00:02:06.133 
People are too late for prime time,
too late for intervention. 

00:02:06.653 --> 00:02:11.133 
So as a sequelae left behind, there are
also many quite serious patients. 

00:02:11.133 --> 00:02:15.430 
Like face twitching, mouth twitching,
twitching half of the face, or more 

00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:18.653 
importantly, it's paralysis and
stiffness half of the side. 

00:02:19.013 --> 00:02:25.333 
Well, it really affects aesthetics and
daily activities. 

00:02:26.173 --> 00:02:29.753 
The earlier patients arrive, the
faster they recover. 

00:02:30.513 --> 00:02:34.673 
As for patients who arrive later or are
treated incorrectly from the beginning, 

00:02:34.673 --> 00:02:37.233 
the possibility of recovery
will be very difficult. 

00:02:37.733 --> 00:02:41.113 
Doctors recommend that people need to
keep their bodies warm in cold weather, 

00:02:41.113 --> 00:02:43.713 
avoid night toothpicks and limit
direct contact with cold winds. 

00:02:44.093 --> 00:02:46.963 
When abnormal signs such as mouth
distortion, unclosed eyesight, and 

00:02:46.963 --> 00:02:50.407 
half-face swelling appear, it is
necessary to go to a medical facility 

00:02:50.407 --> 00:02:53.277 
for early examination, avoiding missing
the golden hour for intervention, 

00:02:53.277 --> 00:02:55.573 
effectively treating and increasing the risk of sequelae.
