Is Bell's palsy a neurosurgery or neurology?

Patient's question:

Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me if Bell's palsy is treated in the neurosurgery department or the neurology department?

Doctor's answer:

Through your description, it should not be Bell's palsy. The typical symptoms of Bell's palsy include facial drooping, and the patient cannot even complete basic movements such as raising the eyebrows, closing the eyes, or pouting. It is a relatively common condition and is not age-related. Do you have these symptoms? If you are not sure, you can visit a doctor in the neurology department or the acupuncture department. Thank you.
