What Is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome?
3. Main Symptoms
Patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome are likely to experience two main symptoms. One of these is a red rash around one ear that is likely to be very painful. There are also likely to be blisters in the area that are filled with pus. It is the presence of the virus in this area that is likely to cause the other main symptom.
The other main symptom of the condition is a weakness in the face muscles on the same side as the rash. In some cases, that side of the patient’s face can become paralyzed altogether. In addition to these symptoms, the patient will also experience some other symptoms.
