What Causes Sudden Numbness And Lump On Neck While Eating?

My son was eating out with his wife and his face all of the sudden went numb and a large lump appears on his neck. They weren t eating anything new and unusual we were think on it was a allergic reaction. But couldn t figure what from. Could it be something other than a reaction?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history related to your son
Appearance of sudden lump and numbness of the face can not really be correlated.
The possible reasons can be:
Transient ischemic attack causing the numbness of the face.
The sudden appearance of the lump in the neck can be due to rupture of a blood vessel in the pre-existing cyst or development of an aneurysm or spasm of a group of muscle.
Hence it is imperative to have a clinical evaluation, examination and investigations to get a correct diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

I hope this answers your query.
