Hello and Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I will try to the best of my ability to help you with your concern.
The symptom you mention in query is occurring due to
sinus infection that is sinusitis . Sinuses are empty spaces in the skull , sometimes infection occur in the sinuses . There is inflammation of the limning of the sinus and they getfilled by fluid . This is the reason for swelling , numbness and pain on face .
I would suggest you to :-
- Give warm compresses on affected side of the face .
- Take steam twice a day .
- Drink warm water with one spoon of honey in it throughout the day .
- Tale ibuprofen (if not allergic) or
paracetamol for pain and swelling.
Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and to rule out cause like
trigeminal neuralgia .
Doctor may prder X-ray or Ct scan of face to confirm diagnosis .
Doctor may prescribe antibiotics . decongestants or
mucolytic agent .
I hope it helps.
Thanks
Dr Harry Maheshwari
