Hello,
You probably developed neiropraxia or nerve damage. Sinus congestion or infection also may cause same problem. Use tablet Pregabalin 75 mg for five days. Please consult with your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
