Your symptoms suggest TMJ dysfunction or could even be eustachian tube dysfunction. Try warm compresses, soft diet and anti-inflammatory medication. If pain persists or worsens, consult an ENT for examination and possible imaging.

This pain could be due to dysfunction of your TM joint. Take soft diet for few days and do hot fomenting on local area. Also see an ENT practitioner.
