Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from slight left-side cheek numbness and it is more irritating than painful. It is not consistent. I sometimes feel pain in my teeth on the same side, and it can also be an issue with the teeth. I have attached the photos of my cheek for proper evaluation. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. My known medical conditions are IBS and suspected vitamin b12 deficiency. I am concerned about what could be the problem. Kindly suggest.
Thank you.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medication with their consent.
I hope this information will help you.
