It's a nerve reflex. And occurs with some people when eating something sweet or sour, after not eating or drinking anything for a while.
No name for it that I know of.

I experience the same thing. I call it the "jaw thing." It's been happening to me since I can remember. Usually only on the first bite of something tart. But now, in the last month or so I get it EVERY TIME I eat something. Sometimes before I even take the first bite. Like, my glands are getting ready or something. I talk about it to people and most do not experience it. It is really really annoying. I do have TMJ so maybe it's sign that it is getting worse. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse than it is now! It is painful and VERY annoying! Hopefully I never have to have surgery on my jaw!

Look up Trigimenal Neuralgia. It reacts to different foods in different people. It causes pain in cheek, ear, eye, neck and shoulder. You can get numbness on your lips. It is basically a nerve that runs thru your face to the base of your neck.
Sugar bothers me.. and corn and anything spicy. I have to eat a very bland diet. Each flare up seems to be a little worse.
There is a great deal of info and also a blog. If so spelled it wrong, you will still find it.. its close enough.
Sorry you have it.. I wish I didn't.

You have a blocked salivary duct. Just gently massage and use warm compression to help clear it up.

I am a dentist. Your dentist is likely going to refer you to an oral surgeon to evaluate and treat.

I am a dentist, Trigeminal neuralgia is not as you describe. First of all, it is a nerve that leaves the brain and splits into 3 branches ~ 1 to the eyes, 1 to the upper jaw and the 3rd to the lower jaw. At the area (foramen) that the nerve leaves the skull, it becomes inflamed and irritated. The pain is most commonly triggered by a touch on the exterior of the face. Can be triggered by brushing teeth, washing face, applying makeup, wiping your mouth with a napkin, etc. Once the nerve has been triggered, it sends faulty nerve impulses that are very painful. It is possible for it to become so severe that brain surgery is needed to solve the issue. If you truly have trigeminal neuralgia, you should be being treated by a neurologist. A drug called carbamazepine is used to tame the aberrent nerve impulses.
Unless you have been diagnosed by a neurologist, you do not have a proper diagnosis. I am an endodontist, I have diagnosed at least a half dozen patients with trigeminal neuralgia, they then have to be referred to a neurologist for an "official" diagnosis and to prescribe the proper medication.

I've had an ongoing problem with this since I was a toddler. They even did a biopsy on me to make sure it wasn't cancerous.. I find its usually during allergy season when it flares up the most. Or after eating something I'm allergic to or with a high acid content such as citrus, tomatoes etc. Try allergy meds some of you, if they help its probably allergy related. Just a suggestion. I mean you should still see your dr. It might help until that point

Does not sound like Hodgkins to me. I shounds like salivary gland issues. With the frequent water drinking...are you thirsty all the time? Urinating more than usual? This can be a sign of diabetes. Go to the doctor because regardless, avoiding problems is only going to make them worse.

My ENT doctor told me the same thing that it was my TMJ, because I can't chew gum any more. It happens when I eat sweets and sours.
