If you experience sudden facial paralysis, it is important to seek medical attention right away as this could be a sign of Bell's palsy. However, there are some things that you can do at home to help manage the condition.
First, try to avoid any extremes of temperature, both hot and cold, as this can worsen symptoms. You should also avoid any intense physical activity as this could cause additional strain on the facial muscles. Instead, just try to rest as much as possible. It is also important to keep the affected area clean and free from any irritants.
Finally, try to eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth. If you follow these tips, you should be able to successfully manage your Bell's palsy at home.
