Sinus Headache, Pain And Numbness Behind Nose And Ear, Pain In Eyes And Teeth. Is This Numbness Normal?
I suffer from sinus headaches, pain behind nose, across forehead , eyes and teeth . My nose is now completely numb, and my gums go numb when my sinuses are really sore. My ear will go numb and is sore as well but there is no infection. I have to await my ENT appointment. Is this numbness normal, should I be concerned?

Dear friend, welcome and thanks for entrusting your query here at HCM !
This is severe sinusitis and need not panic.
Accept the numbness.
Take steam inhalations 3-4 times in a day.
Be guided by your ENT expert.
Watch for any high fever, vomitting, headache (worse).
I hope you are fully satisfied with the guidance I gave.
I would be glad to answer any further queries.
Thank you and Good luck !
