Inability to close the unilateral eye, drooping of corner of mouth, with drooling of saliva and unable to smile on affected side are few important clinical features of Bell's Palsy. Management of Bell's Palsy in children is basically symptomatic only. Multivitamins with light physiotherapy are all that are helpful to manage most of the Bell's Palsy cases in children.
