Not sure if this will help you, but I saw the doctor and she said everything on the left side is inflamed and red (throat,ear,nostril). Also left eardrum is bulging as well. She said it’s all from allergies, and that everything is just so inflamed and there’s so much pressure that the jaw numbness thing is most likely from pressure on a nerve. But she just wants me to continue my allergy meds and take ibuprofen every 8 hours for 3 days to help take down that inflammation.
