Is the numbness progressing to paralysis on that side of the face? Is that side of the face drooping, and you are unable to blink your eye or move the lips on that side?
If yes, I can tell you what that probably is, what causes it, what the treatment is, and what the prognosis is. The fact that it is just one half of the face is a strong clue.
If it is what I think it is, don't worry it is not an emergency, but there are specific treatments and an expected time period to partial or total recovery.
