What Causes A Throbbing Sensation On The Cheeks And Temple Area?
Question: what is a throbbing from the right cheek to the temple or cheek and temple along with tension in the right side if the neck
Brief Answer:
Temporomandibulary joint or parotid gland problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
It could be Temporomandibulary joint dysfunction/damage, or, especially if the cheek seems swollen, parotid gland infection/stones.
There is need for imaging studies assessment of these possibilities, parotid gland ultrasound and Temporomandibulary joint x-rays as a start.
Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.
Take care.
