Brief Answer:
It would get better soon.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. The numbness is related to injury of cutaneous nerves located in the skin over the skull bones. This would get better on own in a few days.
In the meanwhile, you may take pregabalin capsules for relief of symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
