Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tingling sensation behind the left ear which seems to be because of because of nerve impingement and foraminal stenosis. Need not to worry about it. Visit neurologist once and get it examined to rule out nerve compression , neuralgia or other conditions like neuropathy. Avoid opening mouth extreme wide while jawing. You should take neurotropic medication such as nerve supplement Methylcobalamin is effective to improve your symptoms. If it is not due to nerve impingement and due to dental infection/ sebaceous cyst then consult oral physician once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
