Hellos per the description of your clinical symptoms it seems that you have some pathology with the facial nerve (7th cranial nerve) of the affected side of you face. It may be due to any pathology in the course of the nerve or may be due to any idiopathic or inflammatory condition. The main course of treatment for this would be physiotherapy of the facial muscles and use of steroids. If the pathology is in the course of the nerve, then investigations (like MRI) are required to rule out the pathology and surgical intervention may be required for the treatment. Hence, I would request you to visit your doctor (Neurologist) for further evaluation and management. Thank you.
