Hello,
When you do those exercises to treat Bell's palsy you activate the nerve make it and the muscles connected with it stronger. Of course it is difficult to do that only in one side. The other side gets also activated and that is normal. If it still goes on after you finish these treatment then you should consider seeing a neurologist who can examine you and figure out why is the nerve having pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
