What Causes Numbness In The Mouth After A Oral Sex?

hi there, after giving oral sex to my partner, i woke up the next day and my mouth was abit numb on the left hand side, but at this stage, i didnt think anything of it, i noticed that when i brushed my teeth in the morning, water was leaking out from the left hand side, then as the day progressed, i noticed that as i spoke, the left side of my face had no movement, all the movement was happening on the right hand side, even when i go to blink, only the right eye closes and the left eye, or pretty much the left side of my face is numb. at first i thought it was an early sign of stroke, but then i kept thinking about it, and as i was giving my partner oral sex, my jaw kinda locked? if that makes sense? what can i do? ive had it since friday, and am abit worried now. i am 28 years of age, i am about 5ft 6 tall, and i have just recently given birth. i was given the epidural also, could that have anything to do with it?

Yeah some times oral sex cause the stretching of facial nerve and cause transient paralysis comes under bell's palsy.but it is easily treatable. Massage of the face that side slowly and steroids like dexamethasone three time a day will cure you within two days. So dont worry. Hope my suggestions helpful and thankful to you. Take care.
