Hi,thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at your symptoms,it is suggestive of Right sided Trigeminal Neuralgia.
It would be advisable to consult a Neurologist doctor and MRI brain to find out the cause.
You may find relief by taking the following medication:
Antidepressants like Amytriptilline,
Anticonvulsants like Carbamazepine,Gabapentine,
Vitamin B12 like Methylcobalamin.
Microvascular decompression surgery as done on left side might be needed if there is no relief with the medication.
Hope this answers your question.Take care.
