Have Had Sinus Infection With Numbness In Upper Lip, Gums, Nose And Hands. Does It Indicate Infection?

Hi there,

I've had a sinus infection the last week, and I thought I am on the men's now.
However, about an hour ago, I blew my nose, and now my nose, upper lip and teeth/gums have gone numb on the left hand side (which was/is the infected sinus). Very strange.
It's numb like it would be had a dentist injected the gums

Thanks for your advice
