BELL’S PALSY TREATMENT

Bell’s palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis that can affect a person’s daily function, communication with others, self-esteem, and quality of life. It occurs when the nerve that controls movement on 1 side of the face becomes inflamed. Bell’s palsy usually begins with a sudden feeling of weakness or paralysis on 1 side of the face.

CAUTION: These symptoms also can indicate a severe condition, such as a stroke. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY TYPE OF FACIAL WEAKNESS, SEEK MEDICAL CARE IMMEDIATELY! Call an ambulance if the weakness is accompanied by:

  • Pain in the ear, cheek, or teeth
  • Loss of facial sensation
  • Confusion.
  • Weakness of arms or legs
  • Vision changes
  • Fever
  • Headache
