Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling and numbness on the left side of face. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are probably due to condition known as bell's palsy . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to face and do facial muscle exercises . Usually bell's palsy go away by its own without any treatment in few days . If condition doesn't get well then consult neurologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with nerve supplement . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
