Hi,thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at your symptoms,you might be suffering from a neuralgic pain(
Trigeminal neuralgia).It is an irritation of the fifth
cranial nerve (Trigeminal) causing unilateral paroxysmal type of pain in the face.Swallowing, chewing, talking, coughing, yawning or laughing can trigger an attack.You may initially experience short, mild attacks, with periods of remission. But neuralgia can progress, causing longer, frequent attacks of pain.
If you are suffering from repeated attacks of pain,then it would be advisable to
consult a neurologist doctor.If Trigeminal neuralgia is suspected, the doctor may advise tests that include an MRI or MRA(MR
Angiography) to look for tumors or a blood vessel compressing the nerve.
A variety of treatments are available, including medication, surgery, needle procedures, and radiation. First-line treatment is usually medication. Anticonvulsants, such as
carbamazepine (Tegretol), gabapentin (Neurontin),Antidepressants(like Amitryptiline) are used to control pain.When medications fail to control pain or cause intolerable side effects, a neurosurgeon may be consulted to discuss other procedures.
Hope this answers your question.I would be happy to answer if you have any follow-up questions.Take care.
