Did you ever get this resolved?? My mother has numbness above her upper lip and we cannot figure why...
Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Common cold, sinusitis, ear infection, sensory nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy as in diabetes, inflamed wisdom tooth, impacted wisdom tooth, dental caries, etc can all cause facial numbness and pain. Hemi facial numbness is also seen in Bell’s palsy, trigeminal neuralgia where a spasm may cause numbness, or due to acoustic neuroma which is a benign tumor of the eighth cranial nerve.
Maybe the accidental injury aggravated any of the above reasons. Also, if noting is found then it could be just anxiety or injured nerve endings which will heal with time.
Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
