Question: Hi,
From Past two days, my mother has been complaining about numbness in her right hand fingers and right leg. She is not able to lift things with her hand.This morning I have notice a part of Jaw(lips) slightly moved towards left side. I can clearly see the upper and lower Jaw in different alignment. Can you please help me what is this actually happening. Should I consult a doctor immediately? This is the first time I saw her in this situation.

Brief Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I would advise you to immediately consult a Neurologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I would advise you to immediately consult a Neurologist or if you fail to get an appointment, please see a Physician at the earliest, as she may be heading for a mild attack of paralysis. This may not happen, and she may recover but time is important in these cases, and the earlier you show her the better. Regards
