A 55-year-old female asked:
what is most likely cause of tingling,numbness in corner of left lip? my other symptoms are a gastric stomach pain x4 days

Cheilosis, virus? : Cheilosis, an inflammation at the corners of the mouth, & sometimes due to vitamin B deficiency, is common. A viral infection - herpes type 1 - can cause mouth inflammation. Your stomach problem suggests acid reflux disorder - do you have sore throat as well? I suggest you see your clinician to get it all sorted out. Hope that helps.

See below: Start with the stomach pain. Try an OTC drug like Prilosec to see if it subsides. If not, see your physician. Stop the Tylenol (acetaminophen) and any NSAIDs meanwhile. The facial symptoms could come from a low serum Calcium (sometimes occurs with pancreatitis) among other causes.
