Hi, My wife is having bells palsy since 5 months. She was given acyclovir 800 (36 tablets in 9 days). Predmet 8 mg was given after 2 months which did not help. She is taking gla m regularly now. There is slight or improvement in her face. The eye closing has improved but still doesn't fully close. The smile still droops. Eyebrows do not go up. Neurologist says continue with physiotherapy and electric stimulation. Physician says it doesn't help after 4 months. She does facial exercises and massage at home. What shud she do? Should she stop physio and electric stimulation? How long will it take for her to fully recover from this trauma?
