What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Right Side Of The Temple?
hello, ive recently been having some pain in the right side of my face and above the eye. it sometimes hurts when chewing, is sensitive when i touch just above my eye brow or near the ear, and my right eye has started swelling slightly. ive been reading about tridgeminal nerulogia and it seems to be a very lesser case of this perhaps. any ideas?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a possible cause of your symptoms but to determine if this is the case, you would need to be reviewed by your doctor. There are medications that can help treat trigeminal neuralgia if it is present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
