What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Jaw While Eating?

For the second time within the last 2 months I start to eat and drink something and I get this awfully sharp pain in my right jaw just below my right ear. It is excruciating and seems to coincide with the entry of saliva in my mouth. I was thinking of going to a local "doc in the box" or call my dr. for an apt on Monday it's Saturday afternoon. I have taken 3 ibuprofen to no avail so no lunch today. What do you suggest?

The sharp pain in that region could be related to masseter muscele spasm. You might have to take muscle relaxant. Get yourself clinically eveluated for a definitive treatment plan.
