Hello,

I understand your concern and disagree with your doctor on the physical exercise.

There is no risk while exercising. So, you should not limit yourself in your daily physical activity. I would also recommend face massage to help recover from Bell's palsy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
