Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. The symptoms could be related to a mild viral infection and they are referred to as paresthesia. If the symptoms are troublesome, you could take pregabalin capsules for relief. There is no need to worry, as symptoms resolve in a few days/weeks.

It is also useful to check vitamin B12 level, as deficiency of vitamin B12 can also cause similar symptoms.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
