Hi welcome to HCMForum. it appears that the effects might be motor nerve effects of poison on facial nerve.
If the effect of poison are more there would have been shock etc. The physiotherapy may assist restoration till
the effect of poison is neutralised. If you feel any thing else you can consult a physician for further evdluation.
I hope you are satisfied with my reply. thank you.
