Hi,

It is unclear since when has the pain started, whether a matter of hours, days, weeks. Also it might have been useful to know your age as some conditions such as temporal arteritis usually manifest only after the age of 60.

If it is a question of hours I would take an over the counter anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. If pain persists you should get checked by an ENT specialist for the possibility of an ear infection or temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
