General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Facial palsy is caused by dysfunction of cranial nerve no 7 ( facial nerve )
Facial palsy is caused by brain Tumor,strokes,Lyme disease etc but most of the time the cause is unknown and then it is called as bell's palsy.
More than 85% cases of recover within 3 weeks even without treatment.
Some may take few weeks to months for recovery,however in 3 to 4% cases,the recovery is poor.
Thete is no special treatment for bell's palsy but use of steroids like prednisolone may help in initial stages,specially if given within three days.
I would advise you not to stop omnacortil of your own and you must consult your doctor for this.
Anti viral drugs generally have no effect.
I hope it helps.
Thanks
