What Causes facial and tongue swelling?
Facial and tongue swelling can be caused by allergic reactions, infection, inflammation, or trauma.

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.

Can shingles vaccine cause bell's palsy?
Yes, but only indirectly so. The herpes simplex virus (HSV 1) does not cause Bell's Palsy, but it can indirectly cause an inflammation to the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). This inflammation is what then causes Bell's Palsy. The nerve is unable to control the facial muscles it is supposed to control. The herpes virus is the one most often cited as the cause of the inflammation that results in BP. The Herpes Zoster virus (chickenpox and shingles) and BP is another frequent combination and is known as Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.

No, it cannot, because Bell's Palsy, by definition, is a paralysis of facial muscles caused by an inflammation of the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII).
