Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERN.

Thanks for your query .There can be many cause of numbness and tingling sensation (paraesthesia) usually in nerve like injured ,damage or diseased nerve or some times compressed nerve.These symptoms can also occur due to some medical condition involving nerves like diabetic neuropathy and multiple sclerosis.

Exposure to extreme temperature can also be one of the cause. As your are experiencing these symptoms around jaw the most probable case is involvement of mandibular nerve.

Treatment involve the treatment of underlying condition.

I would suggest you to consult oral maxillofacial surgeon/neurosurgeon without any delay for proper examination and to rule out serious conditions like stroke .Doctor may order MRI along with other test and treat it accordingly .

For now what you can do is start massage and physical therapy of face .You can also start taking multivitamin supplements.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
