Bells palsy
I was diagnosed with mild bells palsy last week I started the steroids and medication within the first 72 hours and the doctor declared that the symptoms are mild and it has only affected my eye (unable to close eye completely) majorly and the right side of my face is slightly non-functional as in I was not able to completely smile but it had not affected my lips or anything else visibly I feel like my eye is recovering slowly now that it's been 10 days of treatment and physiotherepy but every now and then my upper lip twiches slightly is this normal or is this a sign of recovery or should I be worried about it?
Medications taken : streoids and antiviral and b12 suppliments
Treatments: physiotherepy
