Summary
Patient diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in A&E on 26 September. Symptoms started on Sunday 20th September with face numb, paralysis down left side of the face and drooping of the mouth, cheeks and blinking affected. No other paralysis present so stroke not suspected. Possible viral infection but this was not tested for.
