How Can I Get Rid Of Twitching Under Eyebrow?

I have a twitch just slightly under my eyebrow. It does not hurt at all but is seriously annoying. It's been here for at least 5 days now and I really want to get rid of it. It's not my whole eye just like a mm away from my eye lid. I dont want to take any medication for it and want it to go away naturally but without just ignoring it. It would be very much appreciative if you can help me with this. Thank you very much.

Hello,
It seems like you are having twitching near the eyes. The twitching involving the face including eyes is because of irritation of facial nerve. The symptoms can be relieved by applying cold compression to the affected area.
However treatment of the condition requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
