Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The loss of taste and sensation ,face at an odd angle suggests the early symptoms of Bell's condition.You have not mentioned if the mouth opening is better after you got up or it the same till now.

I would advice you to visit your oral and Maxillo-facial surgeon and have it checked up at the earliest to avoid any delay in the correct diagnosis and treatment.

You will be requiring further test and scan to begin the treatment.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
