Travel. Bell's Palsy: There should be no problems traveling with bell's palsy. Depending on the severity of your facial weakness and ability to close the affected eye, you should make sure to have eye lubrication on hand. It may be necessary to tape your eye closed when you nap or sleep.

Yes: Bell's palsy should not affect your ability to travel. However, as this often makes it harder to close your eye, you may need eye lubricants or eye pads to cover and protect your eye until the motion returns. You should be closely followed by a doctor experienced in the care of bell's palsy.
