Dear patient
difficulty in blinking one eye and one sided face decreased sensations are signs of Bell's palsy and since this has happened after trauma should be taken seriously. Please consult neurophysician nearby you for detailed evaluation and further treatment. Please avoid flying till you are examined by neurophyysician.
