Thanks for the advice Dr. Satvinder.
However, would like to inform you that there is no issue with the tooth or any cavity or caries tooth as you have mentioned. I take cold water or softdrinks only, no cold food. I had visited a dentist a while ago and he told that there is no issue with the the tooths and the jaws.
Please advice.
Regards,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
please meet a neurologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Well , thanks for telling that
This changes things now and i would like you to meet a neurologist as you may be suffering from what is called a trigeminal neuralgia , which is characterized by sudden shooting type of pain on one side of the face.
There is also a remote possibility of you having a sinus infection although sinus infections generally have facial pain and headache and jaw pain is very rare.
For the time being avoid cold food and excessive stress , specially physical stress like too much exercise, jogging etc as stress and changes in temperature are known to precipitate the pain in trigeminal neuralgia.
Please meet your neurologist and get back to me for further advice
Take care!
