General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The symptoms you mentioned seems to go in tandem with those of neurological pain. The cause of such pain is usually unknown though various diagnosis can be done. Mostly it might be trigeminal neuralgia in which, one set of nerves which supply the face is initiating the pain. It would be always better to be evaluated by your physician for a more clear picture of the condition.
If you notice that any manoeuvres or activities are triggering the pain, it can be less discomforting if you can avoid those.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Thank you.

Regards
