Have Numbness In The Mouth Along With Sore Throat?

Last night after eating supper, the corners of my mouth temporarily became quite numb and then, after a few minutes, the numbness went away. And then today right after lunch, I have developed a sore throat. Especially on the left side of my throat where the majority of the mouth numbness was last night.

Hi.
Thanks for your information.
The numbness followed by sore throat indicates that there may be just a flu giving this problem.
But on a safer side you should look for any rash in a linear fashion and get examined by a Doctor, preferably an ENT to rule out any herpes or such an occurrence.
This is so as the early diagnosis can give you the best treatment like anti-viral or so.
Keep a watch and get examined.
