Hi,

Understanding your concern. The symptoms you mention in query are indication nerve disorder, most probable cause is trigeminal neuralgia due to nerve impingement and pressure on nerves. Sometimes such symptoms can also occur due to lack of blood supply to concern part or vitamin B12 supplement. I would suggest you to consult neurosurgeon or oral surgeon for proper diagnosis and to rule out condition. Doctor will take history and examine physically. Doctor may also order MRI of face and neck region to find out nerve injury or compression. Doctor may prescribe anticonvulsant drug (carbatrol) , muscle relaxant like baclofen , recommend facial exercise or physical therapy of face.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
