Suggest Treatment For Bell S Palsy, Left-sided Facial Paralysis, Metallic Taste And Headaches

I have been diagnosed with bells palsy which came on me one morning upon awakening about 2 weeks ago. My left side of my face is still paralyzed but now my eye feels like it is going to pop out of my head, my ear feels full and i have a dull nagging headache and a metallic taste in my mouth. I went back to the doctor and they ruled out RamseyHunt syndrome they looked in my ear and said it was otis media effusion (ear infection middle ear) but it doesn t seem to be getting any better. What should I do?
