A member asked:

What are ways to ease the pain from trigeminal nerve pain in the lower jaw that i can do at home?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trigger?: Modify or decrease the trigger agent. Trigeminal nerve pain usually has a trigger; such as when brushing the teeth, brushing the face lightly, or air blowing on the face. Certain medications like Carbamazepine can assist in relieving the painful jolts.
