What Causes Pain On The Tragus?

I have pain when I touch near my right tragus. It also really hurts when I open my mouth or move my jaw from side to side. I do not have my tragus pierced. I have had this before but usually it goes away after a day or two.. Do you have any idea what causes it? I did not go swimming.
