What Causes Bell's Palsy?
5. Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease
The coxsackievirus causes hand-foot-and-mouth disease. The primary symptom is a blister-like rash that can appear anywhere, but most commonly shows up on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth.
A small number of people with hand-foot-and-mouth disease develop swelling in the brain or along the spinal cord, which can cause Bell's palsy.
