Hi.
Only if there is weakness of the limbs, it may be a part of stoke.
If the illness started with a sharp ear pain, do watch out for any rash around the ear. If you notice small blisters on/around the ear, report it to your treating doctor immediately.
Warm regards, Dr.Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore

It’s not a stroke if it’s isolated facial N palsy. When did the deviation and pain begin?
The prescription is fine but you should have been given antiviral as well in the form of
Acyclovir 800mg three times a day for 1 week
OR
Valacyclovir 1g BD for 1 week.
The remaining medications are fine.
Antibiotics (Moxclav) are not required at present
