Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Discomfort on left side of face along with tenderness on touching can be due to causes like muscle injury, sinus related problems or sinusitis, deep gum or tooth infection etc..

So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room or an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like x ray can be done for ruling out the exact cause of discomfort..

For now you can do alternate warm and cool compresses over the area and along with it you can take pain relievers like Advil if pain is annoying otherwise not..

Hope this helps.

Regards.
