Question: I’ve heard that recent studies have linked the occurence of Bell’s Palsey with the herpes simplex virus. Would it be unreasonable to assume that drugs used to control the virus would be effective in treating Bell’s Palsey?
Answer: Haven’t seen these studies, nor any controlled studies using these antivirals in Bell’s Palsy, certainly would be worth a study however.
