Suggest Treatment For Numbness In The Jaw And Cheeks

I have pressure or slight numbness in my upper jaw and cheeks that runs behind my nose and up between my eyes. I also feel it through the roof of my mouth and usually find myself pushing my tongue up against the roof in my mouth maybe to offset the pressure. The main symptom the jaw joint from my upper and lower jaw makes me feel exhausted. I have had a deviated septum but not sure if that s a factor. Laying my head on its side helps to elevated some of the discomfort. Please help

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

as you mentioned the numbrness in the upper jaw and cheeks, I will request you to meet up a neurologist and get checked once. It might be an irritation of the nerve happened due to cold ear infection or direct effect on the nerve due to cold. getting self assessed at the earliest with the specialist is always on a safer note.

they say - prevention is better than cure.

so the early you visit the early we can conclude what is wrong. usually these symptoms has to be seen by a neurologist.

you should use the cotton in your ears and kindly avoid any too cold or too hot food stuffs. just on a safer note to avoid any injury to the tongue.

with the grace of God I wish you a good Health
