What Causes Pain In Cheek Right Side Of Neck With Ear Pain?
I have a numb type pain in my right cheek, below my right ear and down right side of my neck. I also get a pressure type pain in my right ear....what could it be? It has been suggested as candida related, I think it may be wisdom tooth related.....but really don t know.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Tooth infection, or candida infection can not cause this.
The feeling of numbness in the right cheek to tight side of the neck is suggestive of the affection of hte third part of the trigeminal nerve by whatever means and so causing the numbness.
The same effect can be felt as in the ear.
I would advise you to visit an ENT or still better a Neurologist for clinical evaluation, investigations and to get treated.
I hope this answer helps you.
