Specializes in Surgery - Oral & Maxillofacial

Duration?: New symptom? It could be related to sinusitis. But not "minor congestion". If persistent, see ENT doc for evaluation.

Yes: Numbness in a cheek only would be rare for any significant neurological problem. Most commonly seen in sinus congestion
