Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
After going through available details, you are having Bell's Palsy which is dysfunction of VII cranial nerve and controls facial muscles.
Corticosteroids are effective in recovery of facial paralysis provided used early after the onset.
Please have faith in your treating Physician and take your treatment as recommended by your Physician.
In such cases corticosteroids are used for short period so do not worry about side effects.
Physiotherapy of face muscles is very important part of treatment.
I wish you speedy recovery.
Good Luck.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
