Sudden sharp localized head pain on the right side of the head. what can this be?

Muscle spasm: Most likely you're having a spasm of the large chewing muscle on the right side of your head. When these muscles spasm the pain can be very intense as if someone is sticking an "ice pick" in your head. If you chew gum, stop. If you clench or grind your teeth you may want to see a dentist. Above all try softer foods for a while.
