Detailed Answer:
Hi Ms XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and diagnosis. It is suggestive of Bell's palsy. You can find detailed information about this condition on my blog (link is pasted below):

In your case, medications have been given correctly. May be, a course of anti-viral medications such as acyclovir or valaciclovir should also have been used.
At this stage, the most important part of treatment is physiotherapy- facial exercises and electrical current stimulation of the nerve.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
