Could Numbness In The Left Side Of Face Be Due To Sinus Problem?
My husband is complaining of numbness in the left side of his face next to his nose and extending outward toward about the midpoint of his eye (but not in his eye socket) and down toward the left labial fold. He has a history of sinus issues (including sinus surgery to open up the openings) and allergies and today was warmer here. Based on a quick read of the online material, my guess is that it is sinus related and a call to the ENT tomorrow is the appropriate action. Do you concur?
Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum. As you describe it appears to be due to the neuritis of the facial nerve, may be due to the diabetes, hypertension, or deficiency of the vitamin B complex or anemia. I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a C.T. scan of the head for diagnosis. Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
