Bell's palsy is an unexplained episode of facial muscle weakness or paralysis. It begins suddenly and worsens over 48 hours. This condition results from damage to the facial nerve (the 7th cranial nerve). Pain and discomfort usually occur on one side of the face or head.
The cause of Bell's palsy is not known. It is thought that it may be due to inflammation that is directed by the body's immune system against the nerve controlling movement of the face. Bell's palsy is sometimes associated with the following:
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Injury
Toxins
Lyme disease
Guillain-Barré syndrome
Sarcoidosis
Myasthenia gravis
Multiple sclerosis
Infection, especially following a viral infection with Herpes simplex virus.
.
.
These are the most common symptoms of Bell's palsy.
Disordered movement of the muscles that control facial expressions, such as smiling, squinting, blinking, or closing the eyelid
Loss of feeling in the face
Headache
Tearing
Drooling
Loss of the sense of taste on the front two-thirds of the tongue
Hypersensitivity to sound in the affected ear (hyperacusis)
Inability to close the eye on the affected side of the face.
.
.
Your physiotherapist will teach you a series of facial exercises that will strengthen the muscles in your face to improve their co-ordination and range of movement. Physiotherapy treatments also has been successful in a number of Bell's palsy cases.
