Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Swollen Jaw And Neck With Bruising Due To Fall, Persisting Ear And Throat Pain, Clicking Jaw Sound. Bothersome?
I had a blunt force fall onto a glass aquarium which did not break fortunately in such a way I could be cut. I did however fall directly onto the metal edge. My jaw and neck were swollen and bruised and now two weeks in and several physio visits I still have neck pain (muscular) and some swelling and bruising to jaw and neck tissues. My concern is I still have a deep pain in my ear and pain in my throat when I swallow even water. I also have a clicking sound in my jaw when I open and close my mouth or when I chew. Should I be worried about a break/ fracture to any small bones or long term effects.
