My Daughter's Eye And Lips On One Side Started To Twitch. Is It Bells Palsy?
I have a daughter who is 12 years old and she went to camp with a cold at big bear and she said before she went to camp her eye and her lips on one side started twitching. When she came back from camp she was smiling with one side of her lips and one eye was very watery. Now she can smile a little bit better with other side of her lip. Does she have Bells palsy?
