Bell’s palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of the face, leading to a droopy appearance around the eye and mouth.

The facial nerve, where it passess through a small opening in the skull, is pinched and swollen – the cause of which is unknown.

Bell’s palsy usually recovers by itself within a few months, however, steroid medication is sometimes given to speed up recovery.
