Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of pain on the left side of the face which seems to be due to facial nerve dysfunction and could be due to TMJ dysfunction and locking of jaw in a particular position.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to rest properly and don't bend frequently forward. Do facial muscles therapy.

For now, take Ibuprofen drug for pain and swelling. You should take light food and avoid hard food from that side.

You should consult oral and maxillofacial surgeon for proper examination and start treatment accordingly. Avoid excessive use of mobile from that side.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
