Brief Answer:
It could be due to facial nerve involvement

Detailed Answer:
hey thank you for your question .

it seems to be neurological as you described your symptoms . Were any tests done to rule out nerve involvement by neurologist ? have you noticed any abnormal movements like tics in your face also? If no tests were done i would urge you to seek an appointment with a neurologist and get A throrough exam again and also get blood sugars checked as diabetes can also cause such numbness .Meanwhile you can take vitamin B12 and pregabalin one tablet daily for a week as they help in tingling sensations .

If you have any follow up query i would love to answer the same . Wish you a speedy recovery and best regards .
