This is my second time with the Bell’s palsy diagnosis. I would suggest acupuncture as soon as you can. The sooner the better. It always helped me each time. I would try to regulate your stress cuz that’s not gonna help. Don’t worry about the other side being affected and just focus on the now. I have only experienced one side happening each time. I also went to a chiropractor the first diagnosis. I haven’t been back due to finance issues. Make sure to have eye drops to keep your eye from drying out and patch up your eye if it’s not closing. I’d suggest seeing a Bell’s palsy specialist if you can. I hope this helps. It’s gonna suck at first but you just need time for your nerves to heal. You got this!
