Hello! That happens to me a lot!! It's a strange stinging/hot/burning feeling usually restricted to one side of my face that happens when I worry a lot. Mine happens when I clench my jaw (and I clench it hard, especially at night!).

Honestly, all I coud really do was try to distract myself by writing in my journal/watching tv/something like that. My boyfriend is very supportive of my horribly anxious self and does his best to get me distracted am from my fears. The tingling is uncomfortable, yes, but it goes away on its own. Mine went away when I started consciously trying not to clench my jaw. From my understanding, it's a common problem with TMJ. You might find a lot of people here talking about that.
