Face Pain
DefinitionFace pain may be dull and throbbing or intense and stabbing discomfort in one or both sides of the face or forehead.
Overview & Considerations
Pain that originates in the face may be caused by a nerve disorder, an injury, or an infection in a structure of the face. Face pain may also begin elsewhere in the body.
Sometimes face pain occurs for no known reason.
