What Causes Sore Throat, Ear Pain Along With Facial Pain And Numbness?
On Friday morning I woke up with sore throat and no voice and body ache and tired. I didn t sleep good the night before. Then went to bed that night didn t sleep good either that night. Woke up Saturday feeling a little bit more better but still no voice and throat hurt and cough. Later on the day I started to get body ache and such so took Tylenol that seemed to help. Then around dinner time it wore off and I was super sick so much I was crying. Keep in mind I haven t had any runny nose just sore throat and cough and no voice. Then my head and side of face started to hurt and my ear felt full of pressure. I took more Tylenol and it seemed to help achy body but not the side of the face pain. As I am laying in bed for the night my ear feels likes it going to explode and the symptom of numbness and pain on the face seems to keep going further into other places on my face such as my Jaw. I just took some Motrin to see if that will help. But I am worried about my face and what is going on with it. I don t know if the infection in my throat has spread to my ear and face . Do I need to go ER or can I wait until 12 hours when urgent car opens.
The most possible reason for throat, ear pain with facial numbness may be sign of acute otitis media or central nervous system lesion compressing neurovascular structures and above said symptoms. Primary care with best susceptible antibiotics as penicillin, anti-inflammatory medications with Rutoside and Bedanzen Forte will help great deal in this instance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
