What Causes Pressure On One Side Of Face With Cheek Numbness?
Hi, Im 26 and have been having problems with the left side of my head and cheek feeling numb for the past 6 months now. My cheek feels numb as if there is a infection inside, skin feels really tight. The side of my head has pressure/tingly sensations throughout the day my head feels heavy, the pressure is located about 1 inch above the ear and runs down to the temple. My left ear pops everytime I swollow aswell. I have been to the ENT department at my hospital had a CT scan on my sinuses which came back clear, I also had a camera up my nose but nothing was found. Any help would greatly be appriciated.

Hi sir / Mam ,
I understand your problem. Have you checked for wisdom tooth eruption? Take Xray(OPG) and check.Since the wisdom tooth will erupt in close proximity with important nerve, the tooth might be compressing the nerve.
Hope your query is answered.please dont hesitate to contact back for further queries.
