Response to Dr. Deshmukh

Re: Weakness of Facial Muscles

Thank you for the helpful response, Doctor!

I had considered sinusitis, since it has been an issue in the past. However, there are none of the other familiar symptoms present. Is Bell's palsy a possibility?

Hello.

I don't think this is Bell's palsy. I should not give a comment unless a clinical examination is done, but from the description, I feel this is more than just the motor paralysis. Have you discussed the possibility of Bell's palsy with your Neurologist who examined you? What were his comments?

Regards
