Welcome to the healthcare magic platform, Thanks for the query. Facial pain can arise due to number of reasons. Common causes include dental infection, abscess, TMJ problem, sinusitis, migraine headache, sinusitis, herpes zoster or nerve problems such as trigerminal neuralgia. Type of pain, its intensity, duration, onset, aggravating and relieving factors may define the problem. A dull, throbbing pain on one side of your face generally occurs secondary to dental infection. Other pain types such as sharp electric current like pain define nerve problem, headaches feel like a stabbing sensation or can throb and ache. TMJ problem may present with pain and tenderness around joint area, face, neck, ear and on chewing or opening and closing mouth. Because there are many causes of facial pain, it is recommended that you talk to your dentist in detail about the type of your pain symptoms so that he/she can come to a definite diagnosis. Also do not forget to mention that your pain symptoms were relieved by taking amoxiclav which indicates that you had some sort of dental infection. Hope this answer is helpful. Please do no hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. Best regards, Dr. Khoja
