Not DIY: You can't fix this yourself. Could be tmj, occlusal trauma, mfp, inflamed maxillary sinus, ear infection, or so many other things. Start with your dentist to nail down a diagnosis. Once cause is defined, treatment can be selected. Referral to oral surgeon, orthodontist, ent, neurologist, may be in order.
