A member asked:

My left cheek is swollen and numb i feel sick and my head hurts in my forehead area ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info needed: This isn't much info to go on. The swelling/numbness is bit unusual. If it's swollen enough that someone else can easily tell, then a medical exam would be wise. You could also do a HealthTap Virtual Consult with live video to better see what's going on.
