Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a trigeminal neuralgia.
Trigeminal neuralgia is an extremely painful condition that affects the facial, or trigeminal, nerve.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms continue, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
