Hello
It seems from the history that your mother who had a bell's palsy is having sharp pain in the forehead involving the eye.
This indicates that she is probably having pain of neuralgia because of nerve palsies.
This does not indicate eye stroke, hence no need to worry.
Hence this requires evaluation to rule out neuralgia and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
