Brief Answer:
Probably Bell's palsy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
First there are few things to clarify about your symptoms.
- Is there any facial asymmetry or facial drop?
- From how long did you noticed these problems?
- Any other symptoms such difficulty closing the eye, lowered lacrimation, numbness, hearing problems?
- Did you experienced fever last days or weeks?
Most probably your symptoms are related to Bell's palsy, a condition related to facial nerve involvement by viruses or other neurologic conditions.
In my opinion, you need a neurological evaluation by a Neurologist, in order to properly diagnose your condition.
Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Best regards.
