Pain and congestion with/after Bell’s palsy

[Dfcgm]

Hi I’ve been on here before and asked a few questions which made me feel a lot better, my facial palsy has now 95% disappeared within around 23 days, I now get pain/ a headache on the same side of the head I had Bell’s palsy and my sinuses feel congested is this related to Bell’s palsy and is it normal?

Hi,

I don't know if it's related but while I have been recovering from Bell's palsy I have developed sinus congestion which I have never had before. My doctor wasn't able to say it was connected but I can't help but believe that it is. I wonder if others have experienced sinus congestion?

I have been on Flonase for several weeks which is helping. Hope yours clears up soon

seems a bit of a coincidence that you have had a similar issue, surely they may be some other cases of this, thanks I hope yours does too!
