Head Injury, Pain In Jaw And Temple When Opening Mouth. Should I Be Worried About Concussion?
I hit my right temple on my ceiling fan a while ago (there was enough force to make me nearly fall off my bed) and now my jaw hurts and hurts my temple when I open my mouth. When it first hit my head felt warm like something was running down it and then there was immediatly a sharp stabbing pain. Should I be worried about a concussion? What should I do? I also suffer from severe migraines.

Hello
Welcome to HCM forum
As you have hurt your temporomandibular joint so it is better to get an X ray done to see whether there is any fracture line.Till then you can do cold sponges and apply local analgesic ointment.Take tablet paracetamol.
If there is any vomiting then visit a physician as soon as possible.
Best wishes
