My friend who is a 62 year old female has had a non-stop headache for the past few days. When she got
up this morning, her eye looked different and her mouth drooped a bit on the left side. She is concerned
she might have had a stroke...Bells Palsy or something similar. What is the best thing to do medically

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have severe headache and droopy mouth on left side of the face which seems probably due to bell's palsy . Bell's palsy is a condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in one side of the face. It could be due to neurological manifestation.
I would suggest you to do mouth stretching exercises and take neurotrophic medications. You should consult neurologist for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like diabetic neuropathy and trigeminal neuroptahy . Doctor may conduct various test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe myscle relaxant or anti inflammatory . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy , massage or light muscle exercise .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
