A member asked:
Can a sinus infection cause facial numbness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: Swelling within the sinus could potentially impact the infraorbital nerve, causing numbness in the cheek area. If it persisted after treatment of the sinus infection, you should be evaluated by your doctor to rule-out any other pathology.
