Answers:
It is near impossible to know without an examination!. You might have received some internal damage, but increased chance that your external ear as well as eustachian tube (runs from jaw angle) and the TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) became bruise!. Is there any drainage or decreased hearing!?

Unfortunately, only a thorough exam will detect internal injuries, and I suggest to be sure there is not possible fine fractures in the joint!. Usually cold compresses along with over the counter analgesics such as Tylenol (if not allergic to) will decrease the pain!.

I suggest seeing a health professional if worsens or continues!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
