Hi,
I have gone through your query.
You should wait for another 2-4 days if still problem exists plus any sensory motor deficit occurs then you should again consult your doctor. Otherwise you should your fasting blood sugar levels check and send me the report.
I hope you have got your answer.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
