<s>[INST] Hello, question can a gum infection make your nose feel numb.  Only one side of my nose feels numb and a few months ago when I had my wisdom tooth removed before that procedure my nose felt slightly numb.  Could this be a sign of a gum or tooth infection? [/INST] Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction it can be due to anesthesia given during extraction of periodontal (gum) infection also. Don't worry Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Take one tablet Vitamin supplement once daily for one week. Consult dentist and go for Scaling and root planning.  Hope this will help you. </s>
