Is it possible to get Bells Palsy if you don't have a viral infection?


Is it possible to get Bells Palsy if you don't have a viral infection?I was recenlty diagnosed with Bells Palsy, but I don't have a viral infection or herpes. But it says most of the causes of it are herpes, or a cousin of it like the chicken pox virus. Is this possible if I don't have herpes to get this? Thanks for letting me know.

Yes, it is possible. Please read the web site below for other conditions also that are mistaken for Bells's palsy.

Dental care is a cause of Bell's Palsy. If you have been to the dentist prior to the diagnosis then that is the reason. The herpes virus makes home at nerve endings. (It's not the STD you are thinking.) Something can happen to disturb their dormancy. (Sudden impact.) When the virus moves it can affect the facial nerve. There are over 20 known causes of which Bell's Palsy can occur. Keep googling.
