What May Have Resulted In Numbness Of Eyes?

my friend is complaining of numbness just under her eye socket cheekbone (well sinus area) on her right side. And today that area is still numb but the numbness has spread to her mouth area on the same side. She said it kind of feels like when one is numbed at the dental office to repair a cavity and it feels weird when she chews.

It is related to pressure on facial nerve.Numbness is spreading along with facial nerve distribution.The right way is to find out the pressure point on nerve.You can start injection Neurobion 1 amp IM daily for seven days.Now wait and see the progress.If it is receding it may completely go away you will be normal.If not have a dental check up again and x-ray of dental root can be taken.
