Why is the jaw swollen on the left side under the ear which causes pressure and tingling sensation while eating?
Patient: swollen jaw under my left ear. It's only on the left side and doesn't hurt but causes pressure. I have a tingling sensation when i eat something on that side. my teeth do not hurt. the issue comes and goes. sometimes I get a salty saliva taste on the left side sometimes with the pressure and sometimes just the taste Doctor: HiThanks for writing in.There is some pus formation in any tooth in that region.You need to consult your dentist & get it diagnosed & treated accordingly.Maintain proper oral hygiene.Take a course of analgesic & antibiotic for 3 days.RegardsDr. Neha
