[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. From the description of blow and the symptoms you are suffering from, it seems that you might have fractured one of the facial bones, either temporal or zygotic bone. When one of these bones are hurt, feelings related to nerve like numbness etc., difficulty in opening mouth and swelling in the ear area are usual symptoms. I would advise you to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon without any delay. You will have to go through x-ray and possibly CT Scan. Based on the test results, diagnosis of the fractured bone can be confirmed and treatment can be advised. If you are in too much pain, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg or Motorola 10 mg up to thrice a day for relief in pain. Please do not massage the area or apply heat without consultation with the surgeon. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you recover soon. Best,
