==Overview==
The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.
Common symptoms of [[Viral|Bell's palsy]] include: rapid onset of mild weakness to total [[paralysis]] on one side of the face within hours to days, difficulty making [[Facial expression|facial expressions]] in one side, such as closing eye, smiling, whistling and frowning, [[salivation]], [[facial droop]], pain around the jaw or ear and [[Paresthesia|numbness]] in the skin of affected side. Less common symptoms of [[Bell's palsy (patient information)|Bell's palsy]] include: Altered [[taste]], changes in the amount of [[tears]] and [[saliva]] and ear problems (increased [[sensitivity]] to sound on the affected side, [[dizziness]]).

The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

*The hallmark of [disease name] is unilateral, acute paresis or paralysis of facial movement. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
