Should I Be Worried About A Bump Behind My Ear Caused By An Injury?

Hi, I was laying in bed with my IPAD, when I suddenly got up and the IPAD flew off my hands and the corner hit me right behind the lower right ear. It hurt so bad it choked me up and made me feel like vomiting. I now have a pea size bump. Should I be worried?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bump behind the ear can be secondary to trauma leading to inflammatory swelling. The other possible cause can be because of the fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can take an analgesic like diclofenac(if you are not allergic) along with anti inflammatory drugs like serratiopeptidase.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
