The first follow-up clinical examination is scheduled within 3 days after completed treatment. Further follow-up visits are scheduled at 1, 2, 3 and 6 months from onset of palsy. If complete recovery has occurred at the 2 month visit, the 3 and 6 months visits are not necessary. If complete recovery is present at 3 months the 6 month visit can be excluded. A final follow-up exam is always performed at 12 months. The clinical examination includes a routine examination of ear, nose and throat, grading of the palsy according to the Sunnybrook and House Brackmann grading scales and registration of other symptoms as pain, eye irritation, dysacusis and impaired taste. Blood tests for Lyme Borreliosis are drawn at the acute (the first) visit and at the follow-up visit at 2 months.
