Facial nerve throbbing pain can be treated symptomatically with oral carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or phenytoin sodium, or in severe cases with oral pain medications, such as pindosin and prednisone. The headache may be caused by primary neuralgia, mainly trigeminal neuralgia and temporal neuralgia. The trigeminal nerve includes the ophthalmic branch, maxillary branch and mandibular branch, and the headache may occur in different areas for each branch. Some patients can have toothache, and in the case of temporal neuralgia, it usually manifests as pain around the ear and may also present as pain in the face, which is usually episodic in nature and lasts from a few seconds to 1-2 minutes.
