What Do Pain And Numbness In The Right Arm Indicate?

I fell at work the fall really didn t bother me. Unfortunately, I was out for a work with bronchitis for a week. Now that I m back, I m having back pain, but my main concern is that my arm right arm was numb for several hours, as well as my lips and nose. Could this be from the medication I m on, the fall, or something more serious?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The numbness in a focal distribution is unlikely due to the medication. You didn't mention your age or the nature of the fall and the subsequent recovery. So it would be difficult to comment whether its related to the fall but its more likely than the bronchitis medicines.

Wishing you best of health!

Thanks
