I've been having this weird sensation where my left cheek and eye nerve keep twitching. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get a little worried. Could this be something serious, or is it usually not that big of a deal? What might be causing this?

Question

I've been dealing with pain in my lower jaw near my ear, and my neck for about five months now, and Im getting really worried. I first saw an ENT a few months ago, and he didn't find any infections in my sinus or ear. My dentist mentioned a few issues, and I got those treatments done, but he still thinks it could be a tooth fracture, and also suggested checking for TMJD or Eagle Syndrome. Meanwhile, my general physician thinks it might be trigeminal neuralgia. My symptoms include a constant burning pain in the lower jaw under the ear with mild swelling on the right side, ear pain, and a clogged feeling with a small lump on the side of my neck. An ultrasound didn't reveal any abnormalities, but there's ringing and a soft humming sound in my ear, especially when I lie down with the AC or fan on. My ear feels completely clogged at times, and theres sore pain on one spot on the top of my head above the ear, plus a constant feeling of something being stuck in my throat, and my neck feels tight and stiff. This all started back in May when I was chewing a lot. I'm thinking of going back to the ENT; do you think they could help diagnose if this is some kind of neuralgia or nerve issue? It's been a really tough time, and I'd love some advice on what to do next.

I'm really worried because he's been dealing with this for about 20 years now. Sometimes it's manageable, but then it just flares up again. Stugeron used to help keep things under control, but over the past month, he's been taking it three times a day along with 12 tablets of Dytol 5mg daily. He's also been using Stemetil, but this time it seems like nothing's working. We're at a bit of a loss here. Do you have any advice on what we should do next? Can we possibly arrange a visit to discuss this further?
