wgasa,
See the dentist. While not a common area of referral of dental pain, an infected tooth can give those symptoms and they can become very serious.
The upper molar area is a more likely source but you referred to "jaw" pain and many patients use the term jaw to mean the lower jaw.
Frontal sinus congestion or infection can also create a similar problem. I'll let the other docs give you their input.
I'm betting on the tooth.

Wgasa,
You could have blown out one of your sinuses. Does your eye hurt to move it or do you see double?

Good advice norcaldiver.
wgasa,
If your eye or upperjaw under your eye hurts, see an eye doc first. If your lower jaw hurts, see a tooth doc. Or at least see your family doc. I was trying to ask some questions to figure out who to send you to first, but you do need to see someone.
