Head cold -post surgery

[Zan]

I am about 5 months post surgery and have a head cold.
I have a lot of congestion and sinus pressure, but notice more pressure on my surgery side.
I am also noticing more facial numbness than I usually have. Normally, while my facial paralysis stays at a fairly consistent minor level (HB 2) , my numbness comes and goes.
Does anyone else have increased symptoms when they have a cold?

I've found everything can be a little different. A head cold puts pressure on stuff and it may not respond or react like it used to.  For me, it's all part of the "new normal."
