This is Bell's palsy following HZO about 6 months back; there is no significant scar left . So treatment should include steroid and NSAID . The value of antiviral after 6 months of no medication appears to be controversial.
kept her on acyclovir 800mg bid, cap. mecofal plus, tab.olfenac-sp bid, tab.prednisilon half bid, tears plus eye drops, ...any other things missed, suggest about physiotherapy that need to be given
It's bells palsy or the facial nerve palsy. Corticosteroids along with anti viral drugs remains the main treatment for it.
