Hi there.
For Bells palsy what you've been prescribed is correct and while you have completed the course of the medication, recovery will take a long time as nerves need a lot of time to heal.
Currently i recommend you take a vitamin supplement containing B complex vitamins including Vit B12 and B6 everyday to help your facial nerve recover.
Hope this helps.
