Bell's Palsy Treatment in New Delhi
Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.
Overview
Bell's palsy is sudden weakness or paralysis of one side of the face, caused by inflammation of the facial nerve. It often appears overnight and can be alarming, but with prompt treatment most patients recover completely.
Starting steroid treatment within 72 hours, careful eye protection and structured facial exercises offer the best chance of full recovery. A neurologist's role is to confirm the diagnosis and rule out stroke or other serious causes that can mimic Bell's palsy.
