What Causes Numbness In One Side Of Mouth?

I am 75, female, and in the last 3-4 weeks I have been having a problem with my right side of my mouth is getting numb. Also my right arm only the last 2 fingers and part of my arm. Just the last 2 days my right foot is getting numb also. It does not last very long but is a concern.

Hi,

It can be due to damage to facial nerve or degeneration of facial nerve. Its called as facial palsy. It doesn't have any etiology. It is an autoimmune disorder.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
