[|Human|] Hallow Doctor?I have been diagnosed with Bells Palsy 5days ago and have been taking the steriods but there is no change though am supposed to continue the treatment for another 5 days. Is there any other treatment that I can get apart from the one am getting?
[|AI|]  I read your question carefully and understand your concern. The bells palsy is a condition which usually recovers without further ado. Steroids may help to speed up the recovery. There are no alternative meds you can take. What you can do to speed up the recovery is to train your facial muscles as often as possible (found a YouTube video for that. The recovery can take several weeks to months. So even in cases of very rapid recovery, one would not expect a change after 5 days. Get well soon! Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
