Hi Cindy,
What we'd be looking for are possible concomittant symptoms, any exciting cause and modliaties to confrim causticum.
the side of the body is not necessarily significant, though it can be when choosing between 2 remedies.
So what you need to check for are:
What are the other symptoms accompanying paralysis on the left side of the face? DO they have any modalities of ammelioration and aggravation?
IS there any detectable cause for the onset of this episode of BElls PAlsy?
Is she chilly or hot?
IS she thirsty? Howmuch water does she want?
Does she have a tougue coating?
IS there any change in her bowel / bladder habits? Any change in her sleep pattern?
What is her present mental/emotional state? get as many details as possible.
All this should give you enough information to make an analysis to confirm Causticum or choose the more appropraite remedy.
IF this was of sudden onset, a single dose of high potency 200C and wait and watch for signs indicating another dose is what I'd do.
Hope this helps!
