What Causes Sharp Right Sided Pain In The Head?

Hello Dr. Rynne.Since yesterday early evening I have had sharp shooting pains in the right side of my head from top, down. My right ear was aching a little last night but has eased, I started taking a antibiotic that I have at home. My throat felt a little sore last night too, but is better this morning. All of this started all of a sudden and rapidly got worse. Looking at my computer screen seems to make the pain worse also.
