You will recover from Bells Palsy slowly, but you will have exposure keratitis which is very common. You might have repeated infection as a result of it. You might have watery eyes and headaches but it will be invariably present till you recover from it. Put antibiotic cover which should be broad spectrum such as ciprofloxacin Try to close the lid artificially with the help of plaster. You need to put artificial tears to avoid exposure.
