It's not stroke

You have determined the most likely diagnosis is Bell's Palsy. How do you explain this to Mr. Budi and his son, Ari, over the video link?

Good news, it's not a stroke! Don't worry. It's just a common, temporary nerve inflammation. Take these simple pills; it resolves quickly on its own.
Good news: it's not a stroke. Bad news: it's Bell's Palsy. It's not life-threatening. We must protect your eye. Recovery takes time but is usually excellent.
My diagnosis is idiopathic peripheral seventh nerve palsy (LMN pattern), which rules out a stroke. We will treat the nerve inflammation with oral glucocorticoids.
