What Causes Numbness On The Left Side Of The Face And Lips While On Buckley S Cold Relief?
I think I maybe having a mild allergic reaction to Buckley s cough and chest congestion medicine. the left side of my face feels a little tingly and on that same side my lib is numb. This is the only thing I have taken out of the ordinary. I started to use this early Saturday morning, 10 ml and on Sunday, another 5ml for early symptoms for a mild sinus issue. I noticed my lip was lazy on the left side this morning. Thought maybe I bit it while in my sleep but also recalled noticing it a little limp yesterday while putting on lipstick but thought nothing of it. I m convinced that this Buckley s cough and chest congestion is the culprit because it s my first time using it. My mother had Bell s Pausey many, many (25+) years ago so I wanted you to know about that as well. I ve taken a benedrgyl in hopes that all this will clear up. Can you help me with some advice? Thanks Patricia
If it is an allergic reaction then the Benadryl would help, you would need to consider taking repeat doses for a 24 hour period. As you would know, Bells Palsy can also cause changes on one side of the face, so if the symptoms worsen or do not seem to improve, then you should be seen. It is not an inherited condition. I hope this helps.
Hopefully this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
Take care
