Have Numbing Sensation On Face, Problem In Speech, Tongue And Throat Affected. Nasal Steroid Drop Helped. Cause?

It could be trigeminal neuralgia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms are not suggestive of a serious neurological problem.
I agree with your doctor that the most likely cause for your symptoms could be left-sided trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Even though pain is the most common symptom; numbness, tingling, burning, etc can be other symptoms of TN.
In your case, using carbamazepine tablets would help reduce the symptoms.
I would also like to get an MRI scan of the brain done to exclude any underlying cause for your symptoms, if the numbness persists.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
