What could be the reason for numbness of the tongue base and a globus sensation in the throat?

Hello doctor,

I have the following symptoms, numbness at the right side of the base of the tongue at the back, and a globus sensation at the right side back of the throat. Sometimes I get a sharp stabbing pain that comes and goes. Pain radiating to my right ear and surrounding the ear. This sensation has been present for one year. It used to come and go but is not persistent. I also have a tight sternocleidomastoid muscle and tightness around what I believe is the pterygoid muscle. I did receive botox in the jaw (masseter muscle and temporalis). Botox alleviated some discomfort for a short time but not all. I get pain while drinking coffee and alcohol. I visited an ENT and he did a scope and blood work. The only thing he said about the scope is that my epiglottis has a flatter shape rather than a cupping shape. I had mucus on my vocal cords and a deviated septum on the right side of my nose. He prescribed me 40 mg of Omeprazole magnesium. I have been on this medication for a few months and the symptoms have not resolved. I do believe I get acid reflux as I have painful burps after eating and a burning sensation (the pain seems to only affect my right side). My left tonsil is very large for the last 10 months. I also have a slightly deviated uvula. My right side lymph nodes are noticeably large and feel achy. I had a lymph node biopsy and it showed high lymphocytes (however, I was getting over a cold at the time of this biopsy). When I touch the back of my throat there is mucus and the mucus smells foul (sour). I also notice a white spot near the soft palate in front of the tonsil on the right side. This has been going on for quite some time. I got braces a year back. I felt like I was getting a sore throat after some time. Last year I received trigger point injections in my upper back and neck. One of the injections in my neck, close to the spine, triggered a sharp pain in my throat and temple. I had issues with swallowing and felt numbness at the base of the tongue. I went into a panic attack and the globus sensation in my throat has been present ever since. I had double jaw surgery in three weeks. I met with an accident when I was 5 years old which broke my jaw and knocked out my teeth. Surgery was unrelated to any pain but to correct sleep apnea and to get the jaw to a normal location, build up bone and eventually get teeth implants. The picture showing my skull is a mock-up of pre-surgery (titanium not in yet). However, the styloid process on my right side seems longer and pointy. I have read about Eagles syndrome which concerns me as my symptoms match it. Not to mention the facial trauma I have (missing teeth, molar cavities, and I have had a root canal). Kindly help. Thank you.

Hello doctor,

I have been on two rounds of antibiotics, and they were not effective. As far as the styloid process is concerned, the need for surgery cannot be determined until a CT (computed tomography) scan has been completed. It is also apparently extremely rare but possible. Thank you.
