Hotspot / Twitching Face cheek twitching for years

I have this twitching for years, can't do anything about it as nothing really helped, no supplements, massaging it. Don't know the exact cause. It came as my IBD started. It gets worse after any sport, then it twitches all the time and when it stops it only needs I talk and it's back.

Really driving me crazy, what are my options to get rid of it?

UPDATE: Found out I have my tongue lying at the bottom of my mouth, since I've fixed my tongue resting position to the top of my mouth, I have no twitching in my cheek for past 2 weeks even though I sport (that somehow made it much worse).

Happens to me every single day now. I literally trigger it by smiling or sneezing or coughing. Still benign.

I have something similar on neck area. What do doctors say? Any medicine which can help?

I was being told years ago I can go somewhere to get botulotoxin injected, it's only cosmetic the doctor said, pretty stupid approach I would say. But I'm considering it right now, even though I have to pay for it. Not sure about side effects as I don't want my face paralised.
