What Causes Numbness At Right Lower Side Of Lip And Pain In Ear?

I STARTED OFF WITH MY RIGHT EYE TEARING UP AS IF I HAD A GRAIN OF SAND IN IT YESTERDAY AND HAD I HARD TIME GOING TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT. IN THE MORNING I WOKE UP WITH A NUMNESS IN MY LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF MY LIP AND COULD FEEL SOME NUMNESS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE. ALL NIGHT I WAS AWAKEN SEVERAL TIMES WITH AN EAR ACHE IN MY RIGHT EAR. WOULD YOU IDETIFY WITH WHAT I EXPAINED IF THIS IS THE STARTING OF BELLS PALSY?

yes it seems to be BELLS PALSY..its usually idiopathic..you should immediately start with prednisolone in tapering doses according to your body weight. you can take analgesics for earache and some neurotropic vitamins. if you start the treatment early full recovery will be there.you should start physiotherapy in form of facial exercises for right side of your face. try to do facial massage,blowing of cheek,try to push your right cheek with your tongue, hot fomentation of rt half of your face,in mirror you can try to tightly close your eyes. you should take proper care of your eye inform of lubricant eye drops(lubrex) and dark coloured glasses to avoid dryness of eyes.you should also get your ears checked with ENT specialist.
