How to keep incipient bell's palsy from getting worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Work up & treatment: You need to be evaluated for infectious causes. If negative, a dose of steroids can be tried. Often this is given with an anti-viral drug or antibiotic based on your lab tests, and present and past medical history.
