Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it does not seem to be due to champix as such kind of symptoms are not commonly reported in individuals taking champix it seems that you have damage or injury to the TRIGEMINAL NERVE or its branches leading to numbness or paresthesia of the entire right side of face..
It can occur due to a number of conditions like physical trauma to the nerve or its branches, tumor or cyst compressing over the nerve, Multiple sclerosis, Vitamin B12 deficiency, viral infection etc..
You should consult a Neurologist and get evaluated and the treatment can be planned according to the diagnosis..
As of now you can take multivitamin tablet once daily..
Do warm compresses over the affected side..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
