So going by your history, your wife probably has bell's palsy. Pregnancy is a risk factor for this condition. It's occurs mostly in third trimester or first week postpartum. Steroids and antivirals for short term are treatment options. Some women may not recover after this short term treatment howver 80-90 percent women recover within 3-6 months. However, I need to know the severity of problem, what dose of drugs was given and when was it started and what is the status now before commenting with surety. Hope that helps.
