Need doctor's help! will left sided numbness be caused by a virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral neuropathy: This would be very unusual unless it was due to herpes zoster (the cause of shingles), or you had had a viral encephalitis that produced damages in only one specific area. You should definitely be seen by a neurologist. Good luck.
