## Abstract

Bell’s palsy is an idiopathic and uncommon peripheral nerve palsy that affects the facial nerve, leading to an inability to control the muscles of facial expression on the affected side. This paper presents two cases of unilateral Bell’s palsy in female patients treated with systemic steroids, antiviral drugs, and artificial tear substitutes. The treatment outcomes, clinical course, and recovery timelines are discussed in detail. A review of the current literature on the etiology, diagnosis, and management of Bell’s palsy is also provided to contextualize these cases within broader clinical practice.
