hello
i have gone through your query.you have not mentioned your age.what medications you are having now.
severe cold can show these type of symptoms like jaw pain.it may be due to a infection of sinus also called sinusitis.
as u r not having the pain related to tooth.
if i were ur treating doctor i wud keep you on a course of antibiotic like amoxycillin plus clavulonic acid and painkiller like aceclofenac plus paracetamol first.i thnk the problem wud subside.if it doesnt then i wud suggest you to visit a dentist.
as some other medical conditions also causes pain in jaw like:
stress to the temporomandibular joint
rheumatoid arthritis,
infection,
neuralgia
Jaw pain is also considered one of the hallmark warning signs of a heart attack.

if the dentist doesnt see any dental related problem via clinical examination or xrays he/she wud refer you to a physician to knw the exact cause.

Hope this ans helps

Regards
