Many things: It could be many things...Not enough information to even guess here....I would seek an evaluation from your family doc. Be prepared to give information about your medical history, duration, type , intensity and specific location of the pain. Also, a check-in with the dentist may help..

Need more info: Hard to say without history and exam. If this has been there for a while, see an ENT doc for examination.
