A member asked:

I have had a migraine for a week now its getting worse and my right side of my face and ear are numb what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Advice: Have you contacted your doctor about this? The focal numbness emerging after several days may represent a non-migraine complication. So, the total picture needs to be addressed. Perhaps find an Urgent Care Center, which would be more economical than an Emergency Room.
