Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Severe pain on left side of face can be due to causes like tooth infection or tooth decay while it can also be due to network e related problem or Trigeminal Neuralgia..
Other cause can be sinus problems or Sinusitis or jaw joint related problems..
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated..
If there is no problems ruled out related to TMJ or teeth then it can be due to nerve related problem..
In that case a Neurologist can help..
For Neuralgia you can be advised neurotic painkillers like Carbamazipine, Gabapantin, baclofen etc..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
