Air Travel & Bell's Palsy

by S-Ales, Apr 03, 1998 12:00AM
  Is there any reason (evidence or theory) to be concerned about
  traveling via air after a Bell's Palsy onset?  The planned travel
  would be within 2-3 weeks of first paralysis symptoms.  
  My concern is due to the usual effects take-off/landing can have on one's ears.
  Thank you.  
Dear S. Alles,
There is no contraindication to flying after the onset of Bell's Palsy.  Have a nice trip.
