A member asked:
I was punched in the face 5 days ago & the swelling is going down but i am numb the entire one side of my nose and upper lip. how long will this last?

Numbness: Usually as the swelling dissipates, the numbness soon follows. However, if you sustained injury to your infraorbital nerve, which lies in that region, It may take longer.
