A member asked:

I got bells palsy 5month ago,used dexamethasone and aciclovir,95% recovered,now have twithching in my eye some days and also in my lips,why?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Same side as Bells?: If it is on the same side as the Bells palsy I assume is a leftover short circuit in the nerves. Twitching or tics are sometimes the result of such virus induced afflictions. It may or may not fade over time.

Developed Bell's palsy. Out of the blue, I closed my eye and my upper lip contracts. Is this now Synkinesis or just the nerve being irritated? Thanks
