Question: Dear Sir,
Let me brief you about my profile. I am 26 years old with height 5 feet 3 inches and weight 66 kgs. 1 month back I had to undergo appendicitis surgery ( laparoscopy ). I was fine after few weeks of surgery. But post 3 weeks into the surgery , I suffered from high fever for 1 week.
During 1st 2 days of fever , I consumed only dolo ( paracetamol 650 mg ). But the fever did not subside. Fever was fluctuating around 102. On the 3rd day , I consulted a general physician. To rule out any side effects surgery , USG of abdomen was done. Nothing suspicious was found. Surgeon declared that fever is not due to any infection arising out of surgery. Thereafter I underwent tests for dengue and malaria. Both were negative. My platelet count was slightly down ( 136). Urine culture was normal. The physician had me put on dose of antibiotic ( 500mg amoxycillin + 125 mg potassium cluavante). But the fever did not subside with the medication. Rather it started to rise higher to 103. 4th day after start of antibiotic , I got myself admitted into a reputed hospital. There again malaria , dengue and typhoid tests were done. All the tests were negative. After 2 days of high intra-venous anti-biotic ( ceftbact ) and multiple doses of 1000mg paracetamol , Dr decided that they will treat as clinical malaria. There after they gave me multiple doses of falcigo ( 60 mg ) and monocef. With the above medication , the fever subsided in 2.5 days and I was discharged. During the whole period of suffering from fever , I had severe headache. Some times in the forehand , sometimes in the forehead to left upper side of head , sometimes in the forehead to right upper side of head. Dr told that it is due to high fever and gradually it will reduce. In the mean time CT scan of PNS and brain were done. Both were found to be normal. I had given 5 days of medicines.
Taxim-CV ( 1 - 0 - 1 )
Hifenac , hifenac , doxy 100 mg.
I had completed 2.5 days of medications.

In the mean time , I noticed subtle loss of control in my left portion of mouth lips. At the time of drinking , water is simply falling out of my mouth. I am unable to stop water from falling from the left side of mouth. The same situation arises at the time of mouth washing after brushing. I never had these sort of problems earlier before this episode of high fever. Kindly advise.

Respected Dr,
Today I consulted a neurology surgeon. He diagnosed my case as ball's palsy. He advised medication as follows.

[ 1 ] Tab prednasone ( 10 mg )

1-1-1-1 * 1 week
1-0-1-1 * 1 week
1-0-0-1 * 1 week
1-0-0-0 * 1 week

[ 2 ] Tab Acyclovir ( 400 mg )

1-1-1-1 * 10 days.

[ 3 ] Tab Pantodac ( 40 mg )

Additionally he has advised facial exercises to be done as frequently as possible.

What are the proportionate contribution of medication and exercises towards mitigation of this problem ?

Kindly give your comments and additional suggestions.

Respected Madam,
Thanks once again for your prompt reply.

Can you send me some high resolution pics / video link of exercises that would help in getting rid of these problems.

Respected Madam,
2.5 days of medication are over. I am not getting any relief yet. How long it may take to get observable benefit ?
My left eye ( which is getting closed completely ) is itching and tears are coming down. Is it a matter of concern ? I have applied "Refresh tears" eye drop to lubricate the eye. During sleep I am closing the eye with an eye pad.

Even water is coming down my left nose. Is it a matter of concern ?
