Bells is the doctor that figured it out, why there was the partial paralysis of the face and he attributed to the inflammation of the facial nerve. So Bell's palsy really is the partial paralysis of your face. It can be either side, it can be the right side or the left side. They say it can come from several different explanations, like you can have upper respiratory problems or you can just be under a lot of stress. And so that's how the nerve gets inflamed. They say it can last anywhere from like two to like three and a half to four weeks. That's the usual time it takes to recover. Some people actually don't ever recover from Bell's palsy. Some of them have it for the rest of their lives. There's also a chance of after you get Bell's palsy that it can happen again.
