Question
I developed Bell’s palsy on the 8th, and there is no pain behind my ear. However, the taste on the affected side has disappeared, and I am unable to raise my eyebrows, lift my nose, pucker my lips, or keep water out of my mouth while rinsing. My mouth corner is crooked.
Answer
General measures for Bell’s palsy care: It is advisable to avoid wind and cold, wear a mask when going out, and pay attention to facial warmth. Use a towel soaked in hot water (about 70 degrees Celsius) to wet compress the affected side of the face, 5-6 times a day, for each session lasting 10 minutes. You can also use a hot water bag to heat compress the face, with a temperature of about 70 degrees Celsius, 3-4 times a day, for each session lasting 20-30 minutes.
