A member asked:
My throat has been numb for a week and a half what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well,....: most commonly, an infection affecting your throat and causing the numbness. Less likely would be a possible nerve issue or ischemic event that only affected your throat, causing numbness, etc. See the Dr. and get an exam and the most likely cause. Good luck.
