HELLO MADAM
Thanks for the concern
your pain triggers by cold water and lasts for few minutes seems to be chances of trigeminal neuralgia,but still more history related to trigger zones and time ,etc are neede to rule out this .its better to consult your dentist for treatment and diagnosis.
Take care
