Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to traumatic injury to the temple there has also been injury to the jaw joint also due to sudden blow leading to injury to the jaw joint leading to severe pain..

There can also be jaw joint dislocation due to trauma leading to pain on opening mouth wide..

A bump on temple can be due to Hematoma formation due to injury..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like Panoromic x ray will help in diagnosis and can be treated accordingly..
As of now take a soft diet and avoid excess mouth opening..
Take Ibuprofen to relieve pain..
You can also do cool compresses over the lump to reduce inflammation and help in its regression..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
