Bell's palsy

2017-05-05 04:32:01
Hi, I had bells palsy one year back and got recovered from it within 3 months. However, I was left with synkinesis which is not noticeable though. This was caused due to heroes zoster and when it was subsided I got attacked with bells pasly. When I had herpes zoster I faced nerve pain behind the ear due to damage if the nerve. Now, after one year from this, I'm facing a similar kind of nerve pain behind the same ear. But this pain is very very low though. I'm afraid that I will get bells palsy again. Is this recurrent disease? Could there be any other reasons for nerve pain behind the ear ? Please help me. Any reply is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Bell's palsy may recurr, it stars suddenly with pain and tenderness in front of the mastoid tip. There are no specific preventive measures except rest, avoidance of stress and strain and exposure to sun. If you get palsy, immediately contact your ENT doctor and start steroids and acyclovir if there was  history of herpes. In most of the cases there is complete recovery if proper treatment is stated immediately.
