Can you prevent bells palsy from becoming worse? I need to know this for the sake of my son. He is 20 years old and this palsy shocked us all. It happened almost in one day, started with a twitch and ended with a complete paralysis of his left side of face. Doctor said that after 3 weeks everything will be ok, but he did warn us of residual effects. How can we prevent that?

This all depends on severity of the nerve inflammation. The source of damage must be eliminated as soon as possible, so that there won't be any residual effects. About 50 percent of all BP patients have a complete recovery (in period of several weeks). Thirty-five percent will experience a good recovery within a year. In BP, nerve is damaged, we could almost say wounded, and healing process begins immediately, sometimes at slower pace, sometimes faster. Therpaies are here to help with eliminating any possibility of residual effects, so he must engage in treatments immediately.
