Answer: Bell's Palsy can make you very uncomfortable and assymmetric
The Bell's Palsy weakens your ability to blink and close your eye which leads to dryness that can make you very uncomfortable. Use lots of lubrication such as eye drops and eye lubricating ointment. You may also find it helpful to tape or patch the eye closed at night, but be careful to make sure the eye is truly closed under the tape or patch or you could give yourself worse problems!.
If the bell's Palsy is of recent onset, you may see significant recovery over the next several months. Depending on how well you can keep the eye lubricated, you may be able to ride it out, or you may need some minor eyelid surery to help get you through these next several months. See a local oculoplastic surgeon for help. If you can't find one, your ophthalmologist (eye doctor) should be able to recommend one.
