Numbness And Tingling In The Upper Lip, Face And Nose. Took Generic Zyrtec Earlier. Serious Something?
Question: Hello, what would cause numbness and tingling in the upper lip, face and nose (right side mostly)? I took generic Zyrtec earlier in the morning for allergies. I do not have weakness , drooping, slurred speech. I can think and speak normally. I am calm, no noted anxiety.
The sensation feels just like post dental work when the nerve numbing medication begins to wear off. I did not take any other medications lately except the above mentioned and an antihistamine eye drops both eyes . The sensation is gradually subsiding as I write this note.
