Brief Answer:
You should do xrays
Detailed Answer:
You should see doctor and do xrays of mandibule so that mandibular fracture can be ruled out. Ear pain isnt problematic since in most cases it passes in short time. but there may be some more serious injury of facial bones. Till that try to eat more liquid food,rest and take nonsteroid painkillers. Wish you good health. Regards
