I am experiencing intermittent pain on the right side of my face from just below nose to upper lip. shooting intense pain for a few seconds.

Neuralgia: These shooting, sharp pains are consistent with facial neuralgia. Since your pains are limited to a small area of the face, the nerve involved is a small one whereas in trigeminal neuralgia the territory is much larger. Smaller irritable superficial nerves usually quiet down on their own. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you if symptoms persist. In the meantime,try ibuprofen.
