Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The hemi facial spasm that you are having is likely to be due to a neurological cause. If the oral muscle relaxants are not helping you then it is best to get local botox injections for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
