| | Bell's palsy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The likely association of Bell's palsy with the herpes virus has led most American neurologists to prescribe a course of anti-viral medication (such as acyclovir) to all patients with unexplained such facial palsy. | | | The efficacy of this treatment has not been reliably demonstrated. | | | However, patients presenting with complete paralysis, marked by an inability to close the eyes and mouth on the involved side, are usually treated with anti-inflammatory corticosteroids. |
