Hello,

There's is a possibility of nerve compression during the accident. So please get it done oral examination and MRI they give you some clue. Use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
