• If a family member falls ill and you want a second opinion from an overseas specialist – how do you get in touch?

Expert Reminder: Watch for Recurrent Facial and Ear Pain
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia mostly affects middle-aged and elderly adults; childhood cases are extremely uncommon. Typical symptoms include paroxysmal sharp pain in the tongue root, throat, tonsils, ear roots and lower jaw. Cases featuring primary pain in the inner ears and eye sockets, like this girl’s, are exceptionally rare.
While headaches, toothaches, throat and ear pain are common daily complaints, recurring persistent discomfort requires medical attention. Director Yuan urges anyone with repeated pain in the head, face, teeth or around the ears to undergo screening for cranial nerve diseases for early diagnosis and treatment.
