Question : My friend says he's feeling a numbness in his head in the area behind his jaw. Do you have any ideas what it may be caused by?

Brief Answer:
He needs investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Numbness in the head could be due to a few reasons like if he has an abscess or even a big pimple in that area.
Or generally weak nerves which may not be the case as the numbness is localised.
It could also be due to an underlying brain tumor.
Please ask your friend to get vitamin B12 level and CT scan of the brain done.
Meanwhile he can start taking Tab Meconeuron 500mg daily after lunch.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
