You need an evaluation by a medical physician immediately to evaluate you and determine if these symptoms are caused by a stroke. If it is due to a stroke, the same problem that caused the first may cause a another more severe or even fatal stroke.
If your symptoms are not caused by a stroke, the most likely diagnosis is Bell's Palsy. Hopefully, this is the problem since it is usually self limited and resolves spontaneously, although it can take an extended time.
Other less likely causes include brain tumor or neurological disease such as MS.

If you can't wrinkle your forehead on the right side, this is probably Bell's palsy, a usually temporary condition caused by inflammation of the facial nerve. You should put eye ointment or a patch on your eye at night, to keep the cornea from drying out. But there can be more serious causes of facial weakness, such as a small stroke, brain tumor, Lyme disease or vasculitis, so you should probably see a physician about this.

I'd see a Naturopathic Physician that specializes in Homeopathy, and probably try the remedy "Causticum". Right- sided nervous remedy. I'd see a Neurologist concurrently.

This may sound like something called Bells Palsy. This happens when a part of the facial nerve becomes irritated. This can have many causes- sometimes its a virus that causes this or it can just happen from an unknown cause.
Start with your PCP first- to get a general exam. Many times in my office I can start the process of treating this and counseling my patients if your history and exam support this. There are times that I will send my patients to a neurologist, but I always suggest starting with a PCP first. WE can often guide you to the right place if we need to get the help of a specialist.

Once you see your MD and determine if this is Bell's Palsy, a holistic practitioner may be able to help you heal the nerve faster. Regardless of what this is, be sure to eliminate all white sugar and white flour to help your body heal and reduce inflammation.
