Rest: Musicians have injuries that are very similar to athletes, you need to rest to let it improve. In addition, I think you need a full history and physical exam. Age? smoking history? Weakness? Facial asymmetry? Tick bite history? I would get a full exam including a focused neurological exam and some labs drawn. Stay calm, rest, and see MD, good luck.
