What are some side effects of bell's palsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can not blink: The worst side effect is the inability to close the eye to protect the cornea. The cornea can dry out and get scratched, especially at night when you sleep with eye open. Tape the eye lid closed with scotch tape, particularly when you sleep. During the day, pull the lid down frequently to keep the cornea wet. Other problems is biting inside of lip and cheek and dribbling liquids.
