My wife is suffering from Bells Palsy since 2 months. 36 Acyclovir 800 mg tablets were given initially within a span of 8 days. neurobion forte was also prescribed twice per day. She took facial massage and electric currents from a physiotherapist for around 45 days. Facial exercises are being done at home. The recovery seems to be there but is very very slow. The smile and lifting of eyebrows have not yet shown any improvement. In fact since 5 days things seem to have taken a back step. The eye which had started closing 90% properly is again showing a slit like the initial days. The speech too has taken a back step. Is the fluctuation in improvement from good to bad normal. Do we need to worry? How long will she take to recover?
