Really bad pain on the side of my face?

Question

Heya - I've got a bad pain at the side of my face, where the top of my jaw is. I had a similar pain not long ago (/i'd say about a week ago) on the other side in exactly the same spot, but it wasn't this bad. Do you know what it could be please?

Answer 1

Did you get hit?  Do you have any tooth pains or any deep jaw pains? Try tylenol and icing it, but if doesnt work in a day go see a dentist. It might have something to do with your teeth or jaws. If it's bad, go visit your family doctor. He'll know what to do.

Answer 2

It could be that you are grinding or clinching your teeth at night, or possibly coming down with an ear infection

Answer 3

It could be neuralgia, which is like a cold in the muscles of your face. It is very painful, but Ibuprofen can help a lot with the pain. If it doesn't improve in a few days, see your doctor.  

Answer 4

Answer 5
