Suggest Medication For Hearing Problem And Having Been Diagonised With Bell S Palsy

What is the average length of time off from work for bells palsy? I was diagnosed 6/11 & I see very slight improvement. I was prescribed 20 mg prednisone, 2 a day for 5 days,800 ml acyclovir, 5 a day for 7 days & 600 mg ibuprofen for pain, but my effected side (right) is having hearing problems ( feels like something is moving in my ear & popping sounds) have gotten worst & I have heavy pressure besides the paralysis & vertigo.

Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

Bell's Palsy usually refers to Lesion of the Facial Nerve (7th Cranial Nerve) outside the Skull

But, in your case, you say that you also have also Hearing Problems +Vertigo. These are rare in Bell's Palsy and more common when the Facial Nerve (7th Cranial Nerve) is affected inside the Skull and the 8th Cranial Nerve also is affected

I would suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon at once

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
