What Causes Numbness On Upper Lip After Recovering From Respiratory Infection?

I have had a respiratory infection for around 3 weeks, now it may be the flu. I have had about 1/2 to 1 degree of temp and it persists. Yesterday i woke up with numbness on my upper lip, and nose in the right side of my face...also numbness in my right palm. It has begun to dissipate and return to normal. Any reason to worry?
