Had Facial Paralysis Without Any Illness. Prescribed Prednisolone. Electro Stimulation Treatment Good?

Hi doctors. I am 20, female. Weight 45kg. Height 157cm. I was told that i had facial paralyse without specific nae of illness. At first, i thought i have bell's palsy but i noticed a very small shingle near my ear which shown many days before my face became paralyse. The pain is almost unnoticable. Is it a sign of rumsay hunt syndrome? The doctor prescribe me prednisolone 25mg dose for 6 days. And it taped to 10mg dose a day after 2 weeks. This is my 21 days after treatment. I've been receiving treatment since the 2nd day of my complete paralyse on the left side of my face. My doctor treats me with electro stimulation everyday. Is it good? Within this 3 weeks, i have seen some good improvement. Will i get full recovery in 3 month.
