On patients with facial paralysis I always do a tasting test, a Schrimmer test and a cualitative sialometry, besides a complete neurological examination; and I thought every physician also made them routinely, until I started entering other collegues office visits and I got awfully surprised to know that they don't even know how to make a basic cranial nerves exploration... Sad! Good video by the way!

it is not facial never dear! it is cranial nerve CN-VII which is responsible for taste sensation .notice that the first 2thirds of tongue innervated by V-v2 or maxillary branch for general sensation and vii"chorda tympani" for test sensation .the posterior third of the tongue is innervated by the CN-IX

@Medstu
The Facial nerve supplies the muscles of the face, AND taste to the anterior 2/3rds of tongue.
You're probably thinking of CN V because it supplies general sensation to the anterior 2/3rds of tongue. But her jaw movement seems ok so I'd say this is just facial.
Probably a lower motor neuron impairment of the left side (Bell's palsy?).
