Is the pain in your upper jaw, if yes then is it at the back end of your jaw..?
This might also be a case of Wisdom Tooth eruption or decay of wisdom tooth due to food lodgement in that area as it becomes difficult to clean using a toothbrush due to its deep position usually covered by a flap of gingiva.

Don’t delay, immediately visit nearest dentist.
