What could cause what feels like like temporalis muscle swelling/temple swelling along with lack of sensation in the area ? 20yrs. ct normal

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: TMJ one possibility. Jaw joint and surrounding tissue pain from grinding, clenching. Advise soft diet for 3-7 days, ibuprofen, no hard foods, no gum chewing, may need dental splint. Auriculotemporal nerve neuritis another possibility. If any visual symptoms, see ophthalmology.
