Hello. Thanks for the query. A superficial nerve might have been involved. It usually settles down in a week's time. Regards

There is no pain. The tingling and burning is mild. I don't feel pins and needles. I don't think it gets worse when I touch it. My gums feel fine now. I think y nose is better too.

How long will this last?m

Brief Answer:
Trigeminal Neuralgia

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back

It looks like there is inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. Most often it requires treatment with steroids and antiinflammatory drugs however in your case it is very mild and might resolve on its own.
I recommend you to take Tab tylenol three times a day for 3 days. It will get better by that time, if it does not please approach a neurologist

I hope I was of help
