Hi dear ,

Bell's palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis resulting from damage or trauma to the facial nerves. The facial nerve-also called the 7th cranial nerve. There are many treatment options you can opt like :-

- Start physical therapy of face and facial muscles .

- Do facial exercises like stretching and strengthening exercise .

- Apply warm compresses on affected side of face regularly .

If condition doesn't get better in few days then consult neurosurgeon . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory to reduce inflammation from nerve along with other therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
