Ear pain

I have recently started having sever sharp shooting pains in my right ear.  It comes and goes, but occurs atleast 1-2 times a day.  The length of the episodes very from a minute to several minutes.  The pain seems to be getting worse as the days go by.  I had an absest tooth once and experiaced some ear pain with that, but I had that tooth pulled about 6 months ago.  My remaining teeth I belive are ok, so I don't feel that the ear pain is related to dental problems a before.  Please advise on what I should do.

Maybe infection,and Do you have difficulty chewing or discomfort while chewing ?if so,it maybe TMJ.
if you haven't ,another possibility is  trigeminal neuralgia.
So go to see GP anyway.

A an inner ear infection maybe?
Or it could be that you have some water trapped in there next to your ear drum.

Let your DR take a look at it, an ear infection could get really bad if you dont get it taken care of.

Hope you can get it figured out soon!
