Compression of what nerve causes facial numbness from the upper palate to the eye on one side of face only?
Probably the trigeminal nerve. It causes a condition called Bell's palsy. If your one eye is drroping and your smile droops on the same side, go to the doctor. There is treatment for this and it won't be permanent. Some doctors now think this is caused by a virus and may give you Valtrex and /or steroids, short term.
