Facial pain is incredibly common, can have many causes, and often doesn’t require medical attention.
If facial pain suddenly occurs without any reason or occurs following an injury, seek medical attention. The most common cause of facial pain is temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJDs).

Migraines and tension headaches can be prevented to a certain extent by reducing stress, getting enough sleep, drinking water, reducing your caffeine intake, and limiting your screen time.
Over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or acetaminophen, can help relieve the pain, and prescription medication can help reduce the symptoms of illnesses.
