According to Mayo Clinic, Bell's palsy is a sudden weakness in one side of the face muscles, which could be caused by a viral infection. When a person has Bell's palsy, one half of the face droops due to muscle weakness.

The health site further states that Bell's palsy goes away on its own after around six months and the permanent contraction of muscles can be avoided with the aid of physiotherapy.
