My wife was diagnosed with bells palsy 10 days ago. She was given around 36 tablets of Acyclovir 800 mg in the span of 9 days. Physiotherapy for facial exercise with electric current started from the 4th day itself. I haven't seen much progress in her appearance. Though she is feeling a bit relaxed as far as heaviness on her face is concerned compared to the first few days when one side of her face was heavy and stiff. Is there anything else I need to do to speed up her recovery?
