In regards with the frequency, less than 1% of varicella zoster infections involve the facial nerve and result in RHS. It is traditionally defined as a triad of ipsilateral facial paralysis, otalgia, and |vesicles]] close to the ear and auditory canal. Due to its closeness to the vestibulocochlear nerve, the virus can spread and cause hearing loss, tinnitus , and vertigo. It is common for diagnoses to be overlooked or delayed, which can raise the likelihood of long-term consequences. It is more complicated than Bell's palsy. Therapy aims to shorten its overall length, while also providing analgesia and averting any consequences.
