My dentist sent me to an oral surgeon for numbness,who said i had bells palsy and gave me valacyclovir. no test or blood wk. do i need a 2nd opinion?

See MD. HSV test?: The main symptom of Bells palsy is facial drooping, not numbness. The oral surgeon may be very experienced with BP, but it's probably a good idea to also see a physician specialist, e.g. infectious diseases or neurology. Some but not all BP is due to type 1 herpes simplex virus (HSV1) or shingles, the only causes treatable with valacyclovir. Corticosteroid treatment usually is more important.
