Hi. my left cheek is twitching from 10 days. it occurs for a few hours and then its normal for some time. what could be the basic cause of it?

Couple thoughts: Consider hemifacial spasm, facial myokymia, focal seizure activity perhaps. You provide very little additional information, so I assume little done so far. See a neurologist and get this assessed.
