General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to Bell's palsy. It is a condition that typically causes numbness on one side of your face. Bell's palsy sets in suddenly, and is most likely caused by the herpes virus. I suggest to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
