Hi.
I looks you are suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgis. A tumor on the parotid artery may not have anything to do with this.
Go for a second opinion of another ENT / Neurologist.
Go for a Fresh MRI for the study of the Trigeminal Nerve.
You have to take specific medicines for neuralgia, and get an injection therapy or radiofrequency ablation or surgical placement of fat and foam in between the artery and the nerve.
Till then you may need Gabapentin or so under the care of a Neurologist.
