Hello,
Bell's palsy is a condition characterized by facial nerve dysfunction.
The cause is unknown, however ischemia and nerve swelling are thought to be the culprit.
Your current treatment is correct.
I would add artificial tears for your eye.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
