Odd Reaction To Certain Food, Tingling In Neck And Pain In Jaws. What Could This Be?
I receive an odd reaction to certain foods, and I was wondering if it was a food allergy or something else. The area below my ears down a little ways of my neck tingle a lot. It is a lot of pain and am not able to move my jaw or sharp pain will ensue. Please let me know what this condition is called and how it can be fixed.

Hi and thanks for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what you have been experiencing with certain food stuffs. If this has been happening and repeatedly with the same food types, then it is probably an adverse reaction treated t some element found in the food. If the symptoms are too severe, then please avoid consuming these food types and wait until the condition is addressed. However, if the are minor and not incapacitating to you, you may choose to continue eating it while you seek medical attention.
Treatment of most of these conditions require an anti allergic drug. But before you get to try any, I will suggest that you get consulted by an allergist who would establish the cause and severity of these symptoms before proposing treatment options to you.
I hope you find this helpful. Thanks for using our services and please feel free to ask for more information if need be. Thanks.
