Can bells palsy be cured?

Usually improved: Bell's palsy is presumptively damage to the seventh facial nerve which affects the motion of the forehead, eyelids, cheek and mouth. Depending upon the damage to the nerve, improvement generally occurs. A few will have some dysfunction and less commonly little function. There is no true "cure" and there is doubt about the effect of medication. Time will tell in each case.

See below: Agree with Dr. Bensinger. God forbid, it does not improve with time, a nerve transplant may be considered. You should discuss it with your doctor. Wish you good health!
