Suggest Treatment For Bell Palsy
I am 46 yes old and have been diagnosed with bells palsy. My left eye won t blink as much as my right eye. I have dryness in my eye, and my smile is crooked. This happened 3 days ago. I have been given Acyclovir 400 mg and Prednisone 20 mg. I am currently massaging my face, but am concerned I will remain this way. I am also keeping my eyes lubricated. Anything else I can do?

Treatment is fine but you should also get support of Yoga, deep breathing etc whatever way you can try. Some herbomineral Ayurvedic preparations also help strengthen effected nerves. This may be taken parallel to your current medicine after consulting an Ayurveda doctor.
