Justin Bieber declared on Friday that he is encountering paralysis in his face and has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
The singer said the syndrome is “from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.”
One of his eyes isn't flickering, and he is finding hard to smile or move his nose on same side of his face
Bieber is dropping several forthcoming concerts as his treatment is going to start
“This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case, but obviously, my body's telling me I gotta slow down," Justin said.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs “when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The same virus that causes shingles and chickenpox
Ramsay Hunt mostly affects grown-ups beyond 60 years old, and it is uncommon in kids
2 symptoms of Ramsay Hunt syndrome are:
1) A red, painful rash with blisters full of fluid around a ear
2) A feeling of weakness or paralysis on the face, on the same side affected by blisters
People who have Ramsay Hunt syndrome may require medications after doctor's consultation
Chances of recovery are better if the affected person start treatment within three days after symptoms starts
Individuals can likewise encounter ear torment, hearing misfortune, a ringing sensation in the ears, dizziness and trouble shutting one eye.
A few cases can have inconveniences, including super permanent hearing loss and facial shortcoming, harm to the eye and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
