Tongue Numb After Pain In Collar Bone. Started Musinex. Worry?

My problem began with pain on my right collar bone and right ear about 4-5 days ago. Now, my tounge - on the right side is numb. I have also been having what I beleive to be sinus headaches . I started taking musinex which I beleive to be thinning things out and causing them to drain down my throat which is causing soarness there. I m just a little concerned with the collar bone paing and numbness on the right side of my tounge.
