I had Bell's palsy about 8 years ago. My Doctor said it would last "40 days and 40 nights", and it did, pretty much to the day. I had paralysis of all the facial muscles on the left side of my face. Some folks have to tape their eye closed on the affected side - I did not because my left eye continued to blink. When you are affected, it is important to see a Doctor - a course of steroids to prevent any further inflammation of the nerves is usally prescribed. It is not fun, but in almost all cases, a full recovery will be made. Best wishes to all.
