Will Bell's palsy affect eye movement?

Patient's question:

I already had facial paralysis last year. Recently, my mouth and eye coordination has been affected. Will the mouth and eye coordination improve?

Doctor's answer:

Bell's palsy can be divided into peripheral facial palsy and central facial palsy. What you mentioned generally refers to peripheral facial palsy. If you have peripheral facial palsy, it is recommended to use neurotrophic drugs and acupuncture therapy. The condition you mentioned, where the mouth and eyes move together, is a sequelae. The complete recovery of this sequelae requires a relatively long period of time, possibly up to a year. Most people can recover completely, so there is no need to be too anxious. It is recommended to focus on using neurotrophic drugs.
