Hi,

Numbness and tingling suggest involvement of trigeminal nerve. You need a detailed neurological examination followed by MRI of brain to identify the cause. In the meanwhile, you can use pregabalin capsules for symptomatic relief.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
