Hi,

With this short history it is indeed difficult to diagnose. Can you just elaborate your problems.

When does this pain appear? Is it during chewing? Did you have any cold recently?

Could be a sign of an ear infection - I had this type of pain this past winter when I had a severe ear infection.  I'd suggest getting it checked by a doc, especially if you have any other symptoms of an infection, such as fever, chills, etc.,
