A member asked:

My face has had a wierd sensation on the right side for approx 3 weeks.. saw a md who gave me steriods and said it was parasthesia. ?

Paresthesia.: Paresthesia is just a fancy name for weird sensation. Due to what? Is there irritation, compression or infection of a nerve in your face? Should be geting better. Might want to have someone relook at that.
