Introduction (Criteria 1 & 2)
Bell's Palsy is a temporary drooping of the face owing to an injury to the nerves. The affected facial nerve is also referred to as the seventh cranial nerve because it is transmitted through the Fallopian canal. Although it is usually worrying, most people often recover from Bell's Palsy. Nonetheless, patients find themselves unable to control their muscles on the face. The affected side of the face starts to droop, and it can sometimes impede the production of tear and saliva (Henkel, Lange, Eiffert, Nau, & Spreer, 2017). One might find out that he/she has abruptly contracted Bell’s Palsy because it does not develop gradually. It is imperative to note that most people are not familiar with it. As a result, those …show more content…
They are innervated in the periphery of the cranial nerve. The lower face is affected by the central, as well as peripheral lesions. In this case, the Bell’s palsy mostly impacts the upper face. Nerves in the face often swell because they react to the infection (Adams, 2017). Thus, pressure is inevitable in the Fallopian canal because of the compression from the skull. In this regard, blood and oxygen are restricted to the nerve cells. Destruction of the nerve’s myolin shealth is possible in this scenario. When people are affected by Bell's Palsy, some of them are not able to distinguish various types of foods because their taste buds have also been affected by the damaged nerves (Cooper et al., 2017). The swelling of the nerves of the face is likely to be the cause of Bell's Palsy. In such a case, the inflammation that occurs cannot be felt by a person as it is not painful. However, signs and symptoms of Bell's Palsy are quite evident in an individual. A person who has contracted this disease will not control his/her face. In most cases, the mouth will move to the opposite side. Body parts involved in Bell's Palsy are ears, eyes, and salivary glands. The production of tears will change, and since one is not able to blink, then the affected eye will become dry and itchy (Gagyor et al., 2017). Neither the forehead nor nostrils move. Similarly, the eyelids are often open while the mouth is in the opposite
