What to do if i currently have bell's palsy. i'm being treated with prednisone, what else can i do to speed up the healing p?

Time: Bell's palsy can be a frustrating problem to have. The facial nerve (cranial nerve #7) is very sensitive and can be injured easily. Anti-inflammatory medication and time is the usual treatment. If it does not improve , then an MRI of the brain should be obtained to rule out any structural cause for the facial nerve dysfunction.

Relief Care: Some sufferers of Bell's Palsy have noted some palliative relief with chiropractic and acupuncture. Give it a trial of a couple of weeks. Everyone responds differently.
