Hello Rupesh!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your father symptoms could be caused by trigeminal neuralgia. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist. Treatment with an anti-epileptic drug (phenytoine, carbamazepine, gabapentine, etc.) may be needed. Other treatment options would be local infiltration of the trigeminal nerve with alcohol.
Anyway, a brain MRI is necessary to exclude other possible causes of trigeminal neuralgia.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
