Burning, Needle-like Sensation In Right Eye, Cheek, Ear And Headaches. Some Relief With Neuroforte. Neurologist Opinion Required?
Hi, I have this burning sensation and sometimes needle-like sensation over the corner of my right eye, on my right cheek, my right ear and sometimes I do have headache on my right side of my head.. The sensations kept radiating all over my face but only on the right side. It lasted less than a minute each time and roughly 5-6 times a day. Went to the doctor but she have no idea why. She gave 2 weeks supply of neuroforte and told me to get neurologist's referral if not getting any better. I took neuroforte for 3 days now, I feel the sensations less often now but it's still there. Do you have any opinion on this and should I see a neurologist immediately?

Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding burning and pinching pain over right side of your face, your family doctor had given you Neuroforte , you are feeling better and interested to know about possible disease and curative measures.
After careful study of your symptoms and their co-relation with possible pathological process it appears as you are having Trigeminal neuralgia right side because you are having problem on the entire area of face getting sensory supply by trigeminal nerve. This is supposed to be a neuropathy therefore you should consult neurologist for thorough examination and necessary investigations to pin point the cause of neuropathy so that accordingly curative treatment may be planed.
Regards.
