<s>[INST] I have an ulcer in the left side of my gum but I also have numbness in my face, head and shoulder. Also I can't hear very well out of my left ear.I went to the dentist today and he sent me to the doctor because he thought it might Huntar Ramsey Syndrome.But when I seen the doctor he fobbed me off with ibuprofen but this feeling of numbness is really concerning me! [/INST] HiThanks for writing in.I would like to tell you that characteristic symptom of Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a red painful rash associated with blisters in the ears or mouth and facial paralysis (for example, eyelid or mouth) on one side of the face.If your dentist has diagnosed it then go for Polymerase Chain Reaction Test to go for confirmation.It can't be treated by ibuprofen.Consult physician & get proper diagnosis.RegardsDr.Neha </s>
