Abstract:
Bell’s palsy is a condition that affects the facial nerve, resulting in sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. Bell’s palsy involves inflammation of the facial nerve, which can lead to compression and damage and can lead to difficulties with facial expression on the affected side.
Management of Bell’s palsy can be challenging, as there is no definitive cure and treatment options are limited. Prednisone is commonly used to reduce inflammation, while antiviral medication may be prescribed if an infection is suspected.
