What is Bell's Palsy?

Bell's Palsy is a disease that can cause weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. The exact cause of the disease is not known to the experts, but they suggest that it is caused by swelling and some inflammation of the nerve that controls the facial muscles. Bell's Palsy could be caused by a viral infection as well. However, mild cases of Bell's Palsy disappear within a month, while severe cases can leave the face completely paralysed.
