For last 10 days I am facing pain in right jaw while opening my mouth for eating or for yawning. When I press lower teeth to upper teeth it hurts. Why this is happening

It is mostly because of the spasm of muscles around your jaw or a tooth infection. You need to take a muscle relaxant, eat soft food, and chew from both sides. To know the exact diagnosis you will need to consult physically.
