Question : my son had a orbital blow out injury 5 years ago that pulverized a lot of his bones. He had plastic surgery and they used titanium plates to rebuild his eye socket, side of nose and cheek bone. He is experiencing really bad migraines and eye twitching that doesn't go away. What kind of doctor should a take him to?

ENT doctors!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am sorry to hear what your son experienced. The best doctor to see is an ENT specialist or an orofacial surgeon. They would review him fully and establish a plan to help address these terrible migraines.

I hope this helps. I wish him well. Keep me posted about this!
