Yes, it can be. Once the swelling is gone the numbness should gradually ( it may take months) subside. If by 6 months you still have numbness then it may have damaged permanently a nerve root. Good luck.
It is unlikely to be something major. If you were struck on that side of the face, then it is likely a residual of that trauma. If it is in a different area, then the 2 things are unrelated, but still not likely to be serious. Leon Rosenberg
