[|Human|] For the last two months on occasion I have experienced a symptom of when I am chewing food, I suddenly feel a knot in my neck that stretches up to in front of my ear on the right side. This causes numbness and tingling to my face and mouth. The knot does eventually go away and so does the numbness and tingling. This has happened about 6 times in the last 2 months.
[|AI|]  DearWelcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness and tingling sensation on the face because of nerve impingement or pressure on facial nerve which can lead to facial paralysis. Need not worry about it. Visit neurologist once and get it examined to rule out nerve compression, neuralgia or other conditions like neuropathy. Go for physical therapy of facial muscles. Avoid opening mouth extreme wide while jawing. If it is not due to nerve and due to dental infection then consult dentist once and get it examined. Doctor may prescribe OPG of. It could be related to stroke. Neurotrophic medication such as nerve supplement, methylcobalamin is effective to improve your symptoms. In case of sinusitis consult ENT specialist and take steam several times a day. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
