Default Chiropractor noticed half of son's face is droopy

I took Nathan to the chiro yesterday and all 3 of the doctors in the practice examined him. Each has a different area of specialty.

One is more studied in nuero issues and did some tests with his eyes and tracking. His left eye doesn't move as far as the right. AND his left side of smile is droopy compared to right.

I had noticed this but thought i was hallucinating, bc I am mom and I'm on hyperalert trying to document all symptoms. I compared him now to the school pic taken in September and there is definite drooping in left eyebrow, eye and mouth.

Any thoughts?
