Introduction
Pain in the temples when speaking may be caused by physiological factors, or conditions such as upper respiratory tract infection or migraine. Treatment should be determined based on the specific cause and may include general management or medication. Besides these common causes, it could also result from hypertension, insufficient cerebral blood supply, or cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention if discomfort occurs.
Generally, temple pain during speaking may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions such as upper respiratory tract infections or migraines. Treatment should be selected based on the specific cause, including general management or medication. The details are as follows:
I. Physiological Causes
Tension-type headaches caused by excessive mental exertion or fatigue may manifest as pain near the temple on one side. This can be relieved through rest, relaxation, and massage.
II. Pathological Causes
1. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
This condition is usually caused by inflammatory reactions due to viral or bacterial infections, which can lead to spasms of head and facial muscles, resulting in temple pain. Medications such as moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets or azithromycin tablets may be taken under medical guidance.
2. Migraine
During a migraine attack, neuronal discharges cause blood vessel dilation and inflammatory responses, which may stimulate nerves in the temple area, leading to pain. Medications such as Toutongning capsules or Compound Yangjiao capsules may be taken under medical guidance.
In addition to the common causes mentioned above, temple pain could also result from other conditions such as hypertension, insufficient cerebral blood supply, or cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention if discomfort occurs.
