How can you prevent bells palsy?
I believe that sufferers normally recover facial muscle tone after about two months sometimes even without any treatment at all. There is no specific "cure" for Bell's Palsy, other than trying to cure some other condition that is causing inflammation to the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). Treatment in the form of steroids like Prednisone is usually started. in order to lessen the inflammation on the nerve. Once the inflammation is lessened or eliminated, the Facial Nerve will regain its normal function and the palsy will disappear. While this is not a "cure" for the palsy, facial massages are encouraged as physical therapy in order to keep the facial muscles from atrophying and drooping.
