I think u r referring to the condition named "Anesthesia Dolorosa"
Anesthesia dolorosa (AD) is an uncommon complication of surgical treatments for trigeminal neuralgia.
The two main symptoms of AD are facial numbness (much like the numbness from a dental anesthetic injection) and constant pain. The pain is usually burning, pulling or stabbing but can also include a sharp, stinging, shooting or electrical component. Pressure and "heaviness" can also be part of the pain symptoms. Often there is eye pain. Cold increases the feeling of numbness sometimes making the face feel frozen.
The treatment is mainly pain relief:
What u can do at home is,
 Even though cold air causes the neuralgia, Ice packs can be used to reduce the pain as it numbs the nerve.
you can encase icecubes in packs or the Commercial ice pack can be purchased through local pharmacy or physical therapy center.
1. Place in a pillowcase, to absorb and contain moisture. Do not use a terrycloth towel. Towels absorb too much of the cold and make the ice application less effective.
2. Expose the area for ice application. Place ice pack (in pillowcase) on bare skin of the affected area. Leave ice pack in place for at least 30 minutes with each use. Only the first 3 minutes are uncomfortable (if at all) after this time you will be numb.
3. Apply ice pack every 2 hours as needed for control of pain and discomfort, and/or swelling or spasm. You cannot overdose on ice!
Drugs like Carbamazepine(Tegretol) or Clonazepam(Klonopin) can also helpful to reduce pain but these drugs should be taken only after prescription by a registered medical practitioner. So do see ur doctor in person at the earliest.
