Can numbness of the face and pain at the skull base occur due to a stroke?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Since when you are having jaw numbness? Do you have any neck pain or history of neck trauma? Considering overall picture, it was unlikely to be a stroke. Firstly, it is less common for one to have stroke at this age group, and with less of risk factors. Also, it is rare to have involvement of only small part of jaw, and usually it is not on and off pattern rather a sudden onset presentation. However, we cannot be very sure just on history and examination is necessary to rule it out. So, it is unlikely to be a stroke but better if you can visit local doctor for examination part.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

This is likely related to cervical issues due to nerve compression. Did you get yourself evaluated for cervical causes like X ray neck or magnetic resonance imaging. May I know your weight?

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

If Tylenol is not helpful then you may take prescribed another anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen 400 mg or Naproxen 250 mg, whenever needed up to two times per day along with some antacids like Pantoprazole 40 mg once a day before breakfast. Meanwhile, you may get prescribed nerve vitamin like Neurobion forte (Calcium pentothenate, Cyanocobalamin, Nicotinomide, Pyroxidoxine hydrocholride, Riboflavin, and Thiamine mononitrate) once a day for two weeks. Further, if these are not helping then you will need nerve stabilizer like Pregabalin.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
