Of the many pathologies that take place in the temporal area, the one that I have researched is called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. It is due to the infection of the facial nerve VII.
This nerve runs through the ear which is in the temporal region. The infection is caused by the virus, varicella-zoster. This is the same virus that causes chicken pox and is the reason most of us have it in our bodies. If the virus is not completely destroyed by our immune systems then it will remain in our body and some day may reoccur and inflame the facial nerve VII.
The symptoms are: a red rash that is very painful, blisters that can occur throughout your ear and in your mouth, facial weakness, and problems with your ear such as hearing loss. This usually occurs in adults over the age of 40 and is very rare is kids. The chance of death is very low and most the time no permanent damage occurs, if taken care of early. Doctors treat this by giving the patient medication to help with pain and the virus. The person infected needs to keep clean and take care of the blisters. Other than that there is not much for the person to do. They do need to stay away from people who have never had chicken pox along with babies and pregnant women.
I never knew the virus would stay in your body and something like this could occur. I am glad to know that it is rare, there is a treatment, and most people are fine.

I thought my life had become meaningless and had nothing to offer anymore as I had HIV, the symptoms became very severe and bold which made my family and friends run away from me and abandoned me, so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams, vision and job because doctors told me there's no cure. I consumed so many antiviral drugs, but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me, It was worse. I was desperate to find a solution to this horrible and deadly virus inside me. I made online research on herbal remedy for HIV/Aids cure when I came across testimonies of some people on how DR JAMES uses his herbal mix medicine to Cured them of MENINGITIS, DENGUE, SCHIZOPHRENIA, BIPOLAR DISORDER, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASES, UNDERACTIVE THYROID, HIV/AIDS.

I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked, and he told me on how his herbs and root medicine works Which was all okay with me. He sent me his herbal mix medicine and told me the usage and I should go for a test after 3 weeks of drinking the herbal medicine Within 7 days of his medications the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I negative by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR James for saving my life and I'll keep telling the world about you.
