What Could Be The Reason For Numb Feeling In Upper Mouth?

Hello. I have been having a numb feeling in my mouth for some 2 days now. Its like if I m under anesthesia. Feel the numbness when I drink water though I don t get any trouble eating etc. When I do drink hot water i don t feel the numbness in my mouth. I have sinus inflammation quite often & have been on treatment for acid reflux for a while. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
With the brief history you have mentioned I would recommend you to consult your ENT specialist for further investigations and management. Depending upon your age, history and findings you might require a CT scan of the paranasal sinuses.

Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
