Hi well come to Hcm.
It looks like that you might be having trigeminal neuralgia, quality of pain also favours
it, site of pain also favours it. Drugs like tegretol, and gabapantine are used to control
pain. But first you got to confirm it. Consult your doctor and in case of need neurologist. Thanks
