I'm so glad I found this because I too am feeling the numbness in my lower lip. I did have a sinus infection and began a week ago and all my glands were swollen.  My cough and runny nose has lasted over a week so yes, I will see my doctor and show her the comment.  THANK YOU..

I want to thank you for the reply.My dr did in fact call me back to come in.I just got back and she said she thinks its from the  infection and gave me a shot of rocefen(mispelled) and told me to continue the Keflex.It really did scare me along with the dr too.I can feel the numbing wanting to lift slightly.Thank you again!!Rebecca

It is not possible to diagnosis this from your statement and not seeing you. Did you put yourself on the keflex?
If you did I don't think it was a good idea. I would want the doctor to see you first and then decide on the course of treatment.
