The side of my face is spasming...any suggestions?

[Aprilflowers7]

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get rid of the spasms on the side of my mouth. It's been doing that for about a half an hour. I don't know what started it. I tried aspirin, I tried ice, I tried brushing my teeth again I don't know what else to try.

I didn't know where else to put this, sorry! But it's been driving me crazy!

Thank you.

There could be a whole variety of causes that could be causing these spasms ranging from possible infections, drug induced, metabolic imbalances, hormonal disorders etc. All these things could affect in your case the facial nerves and hence associated muscle groups. Sometimes these spasms could be transient and dissappear as quicly as it appeared, however I do suggest it'll be a good idea that you get it investigated further by your doctor.

Yes, get it looked at by a doctor if it continues, but in the meantime, you could try some face yoga. And in case laughter is truly the best medicine, I highly recommend checking out the youtube face yoga videos.

It did go away but I read some interesting articles on what could cause it. Some people even have to get surgery if it continues.
