1. If Patient having pain in ear head and throat mostly it is due to wisdom tooth.
2. If not due to wisdom tooth than check for any decayed tooth in upper and lower jaw. Infected decayed tooth causes pain like this also.
3. If 1. And 2. Found normal than tmj(temporomandibular joint) should be checked.

Please visit a dentist or video consultation. The information what you told is not enough. Pain in the jaw can be due to trauma,dental caries , one side chewing, temporomandibular joint disfunction, or could be due to referred pain from different problem site..
