Hi,

You may be suffering from trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis of left maxilla or it may be due to herpes zoster etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days is useful.

Use tablet Pregabalin. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
