What Causes Constant Tingling Sensation In Left Temple Area, Jaws, Cheek And Nose?

I startes feeling a slight tingling on my left temple, which worked its way down the jaw line as well as through my cheek bone to my nose. I can still move everything on both sides of my face and body and nothing appears droopy. But there has been a constant tinglinf for 2 hours. What is this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain tingling on left side of face which involves temple, jaw, cheekbone seems to be related to disturbances associated with Trigeminal nerve that is the fifth cranial nerve and will supply face with one one nerve supplying each side of face..

Any trauma or infection and inflammation of the nerve can cause nerve paresthesia leading to tingling sensation..

In case if the tingling does not resolve consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like MRI SCAN can help in diagnosis and will treat accordingly..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
