Brief Answer:
All this prabably related to the trauma and grabbing!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms of numbness and and ear pain/ I have reviewed your symptoms fully and they are suggestive of trauma from the holding associated with the confrontation you had. These symptoms do not seem to be related to the other disease conditions that you have reported over the years. I will suggest that you continue with aspirin for a short duration like 2-3days and am confident these symptoms would be completely resolved.

There is nothing to suggest that the pregnancy has suffered any consequences and there should be no worries about this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and a very safe pregnancy period. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Trauma causes inflammation!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

When any area of the body is traumatized, an inflammatory reaction would set in. This is exactly what happened when as a result of the trauma you suffered when you when grabbed. Inflammation reaction is characterized by sweeping, pain, redness, etc. These are the same symptoms you experienced. If you are still in pain, tylenol at doses recommended by your pharmacist would help resolve these symptoms.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Don’t be scared as these symptoms are totally in line with what happened during the encounter as recounted by you.
