Should The ER Be Visited For Pain Behind The Ears After An Injury?
Hi I got hit in the ear with a soft ball going full speed. I had ratings on it lefts a bride and behind my ear I have a huge bump. But I don’t ahve any headaches so I’m icing it. Do you think I should go to the doctor it hurts quite a bit but I’m leaving for a match in two days so I have to go either way but is it a big deal?
