Hey med team, is this Bells Palsy?
For starters, I suffer from being prone to infection. But this is a new one for me. Earlier this month I thought I had a deep sinus infection or muscular pain- as the base of my neck and head felt tons of pressure when quickly moving or coughing. It felt like someone was beating me in the back of the head.
Had a skin infection so got some antibiotics and doc said I may have start of ear infection. Clindomycin cleared up my “headache” and my skin but my dumbass didn’t take the entire prescription.
Ear pain in base now, and a bit into jaw. Facial numbness like novocaine wearing off and I can feel it when I eat or drink having extreme weakness.
I absolutely cannot smile. And my eye is having a hard time closing and is watering nonstop.
Dentist suggests TMJ but I’m extremely doubtful.
Is this an ER visit? Or can I see my regular doc?
Should I take my antibiotics I have?
