Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Since there was no loss of consciousness and no vomiting, the condition is not severe.

However, you need to be evaluated at your ER, because there may be fracture of temporomandibulary joint and/or temporal bone that is causing your symptoms.

At least, an evaluation by a Doctor and x-rays of the affected are are needed to evaluate better your condition.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Take care.
