Fell And Landed On Jaw, Hurts Up Near Ear Now, Painful
I tripped and landed on my jaw earlier today at first it felt like there was a pop in my left ear and I thought that maybe some fluid was coming out but Im not sure. My jaw only hurts up near my ear now but it is most painful when I bite down hard or open wide. What should I do? is it serious or should I just put some ice on it and let it soften up?

Do not eat hard things for few days. Take some analgesics and do hot fermentation over the jaw. In case the pain does not decrease, do consult an ENT and you may need to go for an OPG. Regards
