This is the most common chief of complain of patient's suffering from Bell’s palsy. It is the uncontrollable tears in the eyes. As of this moment, the cause is still unknown. The uncontrollable tears are the manifestation of inability to close the eyes due to the affectation of facial nerve, the term "crocodile tears". The term originated from the actual physical attributes of the crocodile that doesn't close it eyes. The proper rehabilitation can treat the condition under the supervision of physiotherapist. It can be reversible if treated at an early onset. Some people would ignore this, but it will be regretful at the end.

I have heard of Bell's palsy but never really knew anything about it. Uncontrollable tears really I didn't know that.

@Shavkat Middle ear infection can be cleared up, exposure to cold you can use a heater, as to a stoke that I think is the most difficult.

@Marycyaz The uncontrollable tears because some of the facial muscles were being paralyzed. The main cause is unknown. The manifestation can result from stroke, middle ear infection and exposure to cold.
