Bell’s Palsy:
Bell’s Palsy is a condition that usually develops from a viral infection affecting the facial nerve.
Initially, most people will feel pain behind their ears or a sense of numbness or pulling. They may experience difficulty drinking out of a glass.
Some believe they may be having a stroke; however, this condition does not extend beyond one side of the face.
Bell’s Palsy Symptoms:
Alarmingly, one will also notice their face drooping over to one side, inability to wrinkle their brow, a drooping eyelid, and the inability to close their eye.
Symptoms may last a few weeks for most people with complete resolution. However, there are a small percentage of individuals who will have residual deficits.
Many patients experience muscle cramps or pain anywhere on the face or the head. Some feel fatigued.
The early one seek for treatment, the faster the recovery. Seek for proper medical intervention immediately you have any of these symptoms.
