Hi there, Thanks for your query. More information is required in as much detail as possible, to pinpoint the cause. You are most likely suffering from a condition called Trigeminal neuralgia, which is the Fifth cranial nerve emanating from the brain and supplies the affected area. Nerve-pain killers, such as, Carbamezapine or gabapentine, will take care of the pains. Other possibility is inflammation of the joint between the jaw and skull bone (called Temporomandibular joint -TMJ for short). A short course of anti-inflammatory drug will cure it. Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.
