Hello dear,
First of all be relaxed, I will try to provide my best possible advice. Since numbness developed within two days, most probably it may be due to any
• Drug allergy
• Food allergy
• Mineral Imbalance in the body
But there are several more causes of lip numbness. So you must take your daughter to the doctor or dentist who will investigate the actual cause and provide needful treatment to her.
Hope this will help you
Thank You
Take Care
