Hi,I was diagnosed with Bells palsy about three weeks ago.  I took all of my medications like the doctor told me to put I dont see any change on the left side of my face.  Also about three days ago the left side of my face (bells palsy side) is in a lot of pain like a Mack truck hit me.  It starts at my eyebrow and ends at the end of my jaw line.  The whole side is so tender to the touch.  What is going on?  I am trying my best not to go crazy but man.  I cant even sleep and I am suppose to wear an eye patch but even that is to much to bear.  Please help
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Bells palsy may take a little longer to recover. In addition to medications (acyclovir, steroids, etc.), physiotherapy (facial exercises and current stimulation) may be continued. Pain over the face may occur during recovery. However, if it is severe, you may take pregabalin capsules or tramadol tablets. If symptoms persist, you may get an MRI of the brain done. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
