my four year old son just woke up this morning and since then he seams to talk out of the right hand side of his face when he says anything or laughs even crying and his left eye is puffy and watery he also cant close it fully he had a fall saturday just gone 3 days ago and hurt his foot when he fell only stating to walk on it now doctor siad it was slight sprain as nothing showed up in xray but he still wont put full weight on it and kinda slides thatb foot across the floor could his mouth got any thing to do with this. thanks damien.
Hi, from the history which you are giving it very unlikely that your child suffered any head injury. However, unable to close the left eye with deviation of the angle of the mouth will make me think about facial nerve weakness, which generally occurs after viral infections (like common cough and cold). Maybe its just due to the congestion that he is unable to close his eye. Simple anti-allergic like cetirizine can be started, but I will suggest you to visit a pediatrician especially to rule out Bells palsy. The leg weakness seems to be due to soft tissue injury and will take few days to recover. Thanks.
