Hello,

I feel there might be a lot of muscle weakness and need to be checked out once. Sometimes due to weakness, there might be pressure on the facial nerve and that can lead to some symptoms like what you are facing.

I prefer you do some facial exercises and if the symptoms of numbness don't subside then you can get it checked in person with a physician as muscle can be examined by personal visit. hope you understand that as humans we have certain limitations to come for a close diagnosis.

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

Regards,
