Hi,
First of all, you should do some investigations such as: an CT on the sinuses, CBC and measuring fasting blood glucose. If you did not have a systemic illness, you could take (amoxicillin 875 mg + Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) twice per day 30 minutes before meals for 7 days. The immune system reaction to the severe infection leads to release free oxygen inside your body, causing numbness, headache, anxiety and other symptoms. So, you should take Vitamin B complex once per day after meals and Vitamin C once per day every other day during the seven days you take the antibiotic to overcome the symptoms associated with the infection. Finally, you should eat healthy diet, fruits and vegetables and avoid junk food and too much sugar in your diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
