Question
After suffering from Bell’s palsy, there is a tingling sensation on the back of the head. Is it possible to be meningitis?
Answer
After the recovery from Bell’s palsy, numbness on the back of the head may be a post-injury syndrome caused by facial nerve damage. There are no signs indicating a connection with meningitis. It is recommended to use nerve-nourishing medications and to complement with acupuncture and physical therapy to promote full recovery.
