Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern &try to enlighten you for it's management.
The symptoms suggest pressure/kinking of a branch of facial nerve supplying the affected area.
Site of compression can be at cervical spine (cervical spondylosis) as it emerges from spinal canal /local pressure due to cervical rib or some lump in the region.
Diagnosis can be with MRI or CT scan of the region.
Consult a spinal surgeon for his expert sdvise & treatment (physiotherapy /oral or injectable anti inflammmatory drugs o local steroid injection/Surgery )
Thannks.
