What Is The Pain In The Lower Part Of My Cheek?
Hi, I am having a numbing feeling from my temple down towards the lower part of my cheek. There is a slight pain that is constant and it gradually gets worse and then subsides for a bit. It basically feels like I've been hit in the face by something. Could it be stress?

thanks for your query,
the pain in the temple region and the cheek could be from myofacial pain syndrome or radiating pain from jaw joint disorder...these two can get aggrevated by stress...so be tension free...you can take an analgesic with muscle relaxant(flexon mr) twice daily for 3 days and piroxicam 20 mg twice daily for first day and once daily for next 4days...you can give hot fomentation over the muscle...if the pain persist then consult a oral physician to rule out any tooth related disorder..
