Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of swelling on the right side of the head, sensitivity to touch below the right ear and nasal bleeding on tissue on blowing the nose.

You should consult an ENT as he can have clinical evaluation, examination and further investigations like CT scan of sinuses and nose, MRI of the brain and Trigeminal nerve and so on.
The most probable causes for pain you described are either Trigeminal neuralgia or severe sinusitis causing all the symptoms like swelling , pain and epistaxis.
Once a proper diagnosis is made, treatment becomes easy and guided.
