Numb face (& flu too)?!
Question: Numb face (& flu too).?
Yesterday afternoon I got the flu really bad and it's got worse today. Feel bunged up, sneezing etc, but today it felt like my face, neck and now arms and hands are a bit numb (the same kind of feeling when you have been to the dentist for a filling and the anesthetic is starting to wear off). What is causing it, is it a cause for concern, what medicine etc.? Thanks!Health Question & Answer

Actually there are alot of other yahoo answers like this one. I've heard alot about numbness in hands mostly. I've also heard of nerves being pinched by congestion which my cause numbness in the face (which is in the link in my sources). Bottom line is that many illnesses have flu-like symtoms so the best thing to do is get checked out.Health Question & Answer
Go to a doctor because that's what happened to me when I got encephalitis. I started off with flu-like symptoms then I got numbness down the left side of my body, then I had seizures. Health Question & Answer
