Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your symptoms can be due to nerve induced pain that can be related to trigeminal nerve causing Trigeminal Neuralgia..

Other cause can be any pinched nerve or jaw joint related problems..

For narrowing down the exact cause a thorough clinical examination should be done followed by investigations like MRI Scan that will help in ruling out the exact cause ad then only appropriate treatment can be advised..

For now take a combination of painkillers and muscle relaxants and along with it do moderate physiotherapy..
Take sufficient sleep and avoid stress..
If it is nerve related pain then neurotic painkillers like Gabapantin, Carbamazipine can be advised..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
