Is the pain in the ear? If it is then a huge yawn will most likely get rid of the pain. It equalizes the pressure. If the pain is in the facial area or behind the eyes or in the forehead then it is probably blocked sinuses. I had a bad sinus infection one time when I was flying in a small aircraft (no pressurization) and the pain was excruciating. If it is blocked sinuses you may have a sinus infection. Or you may just have small passageways.
