Q: All week a nerve in my face started twitching.All of a sudden my face twisted to the left side so when I talk or smile It goes to one side. This happened to me before when I was 7 (i'm 13 now). What can I do until I go to the doctor and what is it? I really need to know what I can do untill I go to the docter.
A: Well, I had what they call Bells Palsy. It's a nerve condition when a facial nerve gets irritated. If you go to the doctor they'll put you on a steroid for a week. Mine lasted for two and a half weeks.
