Jaw pain: U should start by seeing a doctor. Jaw pain may be related to some benign conditions such as TMJ vs sinus infection vs more serious conditions such as giant cell arteritis. Diagnosis will require good history and exam and possibly some imaging studies. A visit to dentist may be required if ur Doctor refers. Hope I feel better.

It could be TMJ: TMJ is temporomandibular joint syndrome. This is the jaw joint. It can hurt especaily with tension. People grind their jaws due to mal-oclusion and it hurts. It can be treated with a jaw or bite plate.
