Congenital facial weakness

Dear Doctor,

My doughtier is now 1 and 1/2 years old. When she was about 5 month old we have identified that her left side of the facial movement is not active as right, specially when she was crying and smiling. We showed this to our paedriatrician and guided us to do the nerve therapy to her face. We have been doing it so far at least 1 or 2 days per week. Mean time we were asked for the second opinion and consult her to the neuro physician(One of the best neuro physician in SL). He has done a MRI scan to her brain and said no problem on her brain and ask us to continue neuro therapy as past.
Now it is about 14 months that we are continuing this process.
Even more she can not work alone and need to have some help to stand up and working. We felt that she can not balance her body herself and need some object to hold.

So, my question are as bellows:
01. Is this treatment are ok.?
02. Will it take a long time to recover?
03. Who is the best consultant for this kind of problems?
04. Is there any relationship between body balance and facial pulsy?
05. Do we need to increase the frequancy of theraphy?
06. What is the best place for neuro therapy for this kind of pulsy?

Thanks

Thyroid function testing

Thanks Doctors for providing this service free of charge.

My wife who is 48 years old, had repeated urinary tract infection. She consulted a urologist recently who ordered a scan and said everything is Ok so that he did not want to go for a cystoscopy as he suggested earlier. He wanted her to continue nitrofurontine for 3 months.
In the meantime she had a high cholesterol and has been asked to take astovastatin 20mg at nights. Some say she needs to check her tyroid (serum TSH). What is the relevance?
She feels short of breath at times and sweats a lot. When we all feel cold during rainy days she gets wet by sweatting. What could be the cause and what has to be done?
