Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pain on right side of face that is present over the rear right corner of jaw and along with it headache can be due to causes like any deeply decayed tooth or swollen gum flap over the wisdom tooth leading to Pericoronitis..

Secondly it can be due to jaw joint related problem..

Another common cause can be nerve disorder causing pain along the course of nerve..

The exact cause needs to be ruled out and you need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done as per the diagnosis..

As of now you can take pain relievers like Ibuprofen, Aleve or Diclofenac etc for pain relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
