Thanks for query on HCM.
Bell's palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face because damage to the facial nerve.
It usually occurs due to viral infection or some inflammatory condition involving facial nerve.
Sometime specific reason cannot be found for the weakness.
Treatment depends upon clinical condition.
Sometime there is no treatment for mild cases and will recover within one month.
Therapeutic dose of B12,folic acid,zinc and other supplement will be helpful to get fast recovery.
Anti viral like acyclovir and corticosteroid is given in some cases.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
