Pain on half my face
I slept on my right side last night and felt like my tooth and jaws are hurting on the right side. A few hours after u woke up i felt like I had a tooth ache or sensitivity. Towards mid day I had extreme drowsiness and fatigue. My forehead or temples started throbbing in pain too. The toothache and jaw pain kept coming and going throughout the day. By evening my eyes also hurt. Then my cheeks also had some prickly feeling . Now I've got throbbing sensation on my right nose too.. It's all throbbing pain that keep coming and going. Sharp shooting pain that comes and goes. All on the right side of my face only. My face is not paralyzed. Only pain. What is this?

The way you are describing the pain and it's location only on the right side points in the direction of trigeminal neuralgia.
It's pain caused because of irritation of the 5th cranial nerve which supplies the face.
Since your face is not paralysed , means that the facial nerve is fine.
Some basic tests will have to be done.
And if proven to be trigeminal neuralgia, medication can be started which should hopefully alleviate your symptoms
