What Causes Numbness In Left Lip And Eye Area?
Suggestive of trigeminal neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. The symptoms are suggestive of trigeminal neuropathy. Trigeminal nerve supplies sensations to the face including lips and eyes. This nerve can get affected by a viral infection.
It may be self-limiting in nature and improve in a few days.
If symptoms persist, a brain scan may be done to exclude a small infarct (minor brain stroke) due to lack of blood flow to brain.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
