I had that once. Mine was a result of shingles in my ear (Ramsey Hunt Syndrome). Hopefully he’s on an anti-viral and a steroid. I also found a lot of help from accupuncture. That’s what the problem in his blinking was about. I couldn’t close my eye for almost 3 weeks.

I had that too, although it was a mild case. I treated it with ibuprofen and ice (above the ear on the affected side). I thought it was from falling asleep with that ear on a two-by-four (the arm of a futon couch) but the doctor said, “Oh, no. It’s idiopathic.”
