Suggest Treatment For Bell S Palsy, Arm Weakness And Memory Loss

my 30 yr old daughter went to the er and was told she has bells palsy, however, she also has weakness in one arm, which, to my knowledge, has nothing to do with bells palsy. Also, she told me that yesterday she forgot a movie she has watched the day before, and had no memory of it. The ER doctors did not do any imaging tests and I am fearful they may have missed something. She has paralysis on one side of her face and extreme headaches, and my daughter has a high tolerance for pain. She has a problem with her left kidney as well, and I am highly concerned about all the medications they gave her because of her kidney problems. She said water tastes sweet, although she doesn t put any sugar in it, and she said she can t taste, but only feels the texture of foods, although she has to support one side of her mouth otherwise the food will fall out. She went to the ER yesterday when the facial paralysis came on suddenly. SHe has been having headaches for a while, but she attributed it to drinking drinks with high caffeine, ie MONSTER drinks, but has been drinking less of them as of late. I think the ER doctors missed something because of the arm weakness that she is now experiencing.
