Question: Will sinus issues cause numbness in your mouth and your ears to itch and feel plugged?
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. However, sinus issues are unlikely to cause numbness in your mouth and your ears to itch. However, sinus issues occur due to allergic or viral cause which may lead to thickened mucus which may block the Eustachian tubes and make you feel your ears plugged. The associated allergic component may also make you feel itchiness over various parts of the body including your mouth and ears.
Steam inhalation should provide relief. You may benefit from taking some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for the next few days.
