There are many medical conditions that can result in facial numbness, one being Bell's palsy. You'll need to be examined by a local physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment options. More info here: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/face-numb-causes

You describe a facial nerve palsy, which may be due to Bell's palsy or even with the pain, Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome. See a neurologist ASAP.
