Hi dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern As per your query burning sensation at the side of face are pointing towards a nerve dysfunction, tooth infection such as caries and due to inflammation of sinuses. . The numbness and burning sensation you experiencing are probably occurring due to trigeminal nerve dysfunction. So i would suggest you to consult neurosurgeon for proper examination and to find out exact cause . You should apply cold compressors on face. Such can be easily treatable if detected in early stages as it will become worse in later stages. You can take muscle relaxant like baclofen as well. Doctor may prescribe anti epileptic drugs or recommend physical therapy of face.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
