Fractured Chin, Small Cut, Difficult In Chewing, Pains Below Ear. Suggestion?
Hi, I fell on my chin yesterday from falling off a skateboard and my jaw kind of hurts. I got a 1 inch cut or smaller around/under my chin and it's probably a few mm deep. I have difficulty chewing and opening my mouth. And the pain is somewhere below my ear. There's no swelling, and I already patched up my cut. Should I go see a doctor? Any tips? Thanks
