Suggest Medication For Tingling Feeling In Face And Neck After Ear Piercing.

Hi, Question. I had gone a few years back to get my (ear) cartilage pierced on the right side. the moment it was pierced i had a tingling sensation through my face neck and arms ( also on the right ) will this eventually clear up on its own? is it nerve damage or something that i should look into further? the piercing was removed right away and i still experience tingling. any help is appreciated.

Hi.
Read and understood that this is a rare phenomenon that you had tingling through the face, neck and arms after piercing the ear cartilage.
This just explained your hyper-reaction to something that is so trivial ans is done by almost all the female population of the world.
This may be just excitation of the other nerves on stimulation of the nerve supplying the ear.
The tingling may persist for a few more days to weeks and eventually will get settled .
