WILL IT HELP?
WILL IT HELP?
Brief Answer:
Yes, it would!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this bells' palsy. One of the common causes is infection with herpes and valacyclovir is actually intended to help with this. I will also add that you do physical therapy to regain full control. Put on goggles, use artificial tears and always keep the eyes well lubricated and away from dust and direct sunlight.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thanks for trusting us with your health question today!
