Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by trigeminal neuralgia, requiring local treatments such as massage, heat application, (closely sealed), acupuncture, etc., and oral Chinese herbal medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis resolution. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods during daily life. If the effect is not satisfactory, minimally invasive surgery (nerve sectioning) should be performed at the hospital.
