Cause For The Sharp Pain On The Left Side Of The Head?

I have a throbbing sharp pain on the left side of my head. It started off every hour, just lasts for a second or two, but now it is very 10 minutes or so. I don't have an earache and I don't think I have an infected tooth. Any idea what it could be?

we first have to rule out migraine or cluster headache. In cluster headache headache is short lasting with frequent daily episodes along with symptoms like redness of eyes nasal stuffiness etc. Need proper history and examination> meet you pain physician or neurologist.
