Facial paralysis or Bells Palsy
-------------------------------


''Bell’s palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis resulting from damage or trauma to one

of the two facial nerves. It is the most common cause of facial paralysis. Generally, Bell’s

palsy affects only one of the paired facial nerves and one side of the face, however, in rare

cases, it can affect both sides. Symptoms of Bell’s palsy usually begin suddenly and reach

their peak within 48 hours. Symptoms range in severity from mild weakness to total paralysis

and may include twitching, weakness, or paralysis, drooping eyelid or corner of the mouth,

drooling, dry eye or mouth, impairment of taste, and excessive tearing in the eye. Bell’s palsy

often causes significant facial distortion.

Most scientists believe that a viral infection such as viral meningitis or the common cold

sore virus — herpes simplex– causes the disorder when the facial nerve swells and becomes

inflamed in reaction to the infection. ''

Doctors normally prescribe steroids and antiviral drugs for this complication. Only a very few

proportion will not respont to this treatment.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the last choice and it is very effective and safe.
