Steroids & Acyclovir: Its not bell's unles there is a noticeable weakness in the movement of one side of your face, so i wouldnt panic.Ear pain and headache usually come after the weakness begins. If there is any sign of weakness i would start you on Prednisone and Acyclovir (an anti viral medication). If you have any doubt get in to see your ENT asap. Generally, starting meds earlier rather than later is a good ide.
