What Causes Pressure In Upper Teeth With Numbness In Lips?

It has happened twice now, but sometimes, I will feel slight pressure in two of my left upper teeth and a funny feeling in the top left half of my lip before it goes numb. I am not sure what the cause may be, but the only thing I can possibly attribute it to is that my sinuses may be swollen because I realized that it usually happens 10-15 minutes after I blow my nose. Usually, the numbness goes away when I turn my head onto my left side and put a hot water bottle on it. While I do this, however, my left ear slowly begins to have a pain inside, and just before the numbness and pain go away, my nose makes sounds as if air is entering through them. Is there a name for any of this or a treatment I should seek from my doctor?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Sinusitis (acute or chronic) will usually present these symptoms including pain the jaws and ear.

I would advice you to consult your ENT surgeon and have the sinus infection cured to have relief to these symptoms.

Drink lots of fluids including water and juices which will help dilute mucous secretions and promote drainage. Placing warm compress around the facial areas along with steam inhalation may provide relief.

Antibiotics may be required after your ENT check up.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
