Hello, Thanks for your query. Often, no treatment is needed. Symptoms often begin to improve right away. However, it may take weeks or even months for the muscles to get stronger, and this may be frustrating. Sometimes medicines may be used, but it is not clear how much they help. If medicines are used, they should be started right away. Corticosteroids may reduce swelling around the facial premedications can fight the virus that may be causing Bells palsy do hope that you have found something helpful. Take care
