Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. As ENT specialist & dentist opinion came out normal, but still, symptoms are worsening thus consult a Neurologist for relevant examination [testing of individual muscles of face to exclude facial palsy] also for taste sensation, plantar response, corneal reflex and examination of respective or affected cranial nerve(s), along with CT- Head [to exclude mini stroke]

PS. Other causes which have to be excluded are:
. Sarcoidosis.
- Parotid Tumor.
- Herpes zoster infection.
- Middle ear disease

2. If the causes mentioned are excluded then management followed is:

- proper mouthwash is advised after each meal.
- gentle massage over the face is advised.
- Facial exercise is advised. [one may consult a Physiohterapist]
- parenteral vitamin B1, B6 and B12 may be given.
