What Causes Bell's Palsy?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Cytomegalovirus
The cytomegalovirus is another virus that is quite common but should give us little cause for concern most of the time. Most people that have the virus will experience no symptoms whatsoever, but the virus will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
When symptoms do arise, it can cause symptoms like a fever, sore throat, aching muscles, and fatigue. Some people with the virus will also develop Bell’s palsy as a result. While it is not usually dangerous, it can be a real threat to the life of some pregnant women, and people with a weakened immune system.
