Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could indicate possible trigeminal neuralgia. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam and a brain MRI study.
An antiepilepsy agent (carbamazepine, phenytoin, gabapentine) would help improve your situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
