Suggest Cure For Pain And Swelling In Ear
Hi! I was hit in the left side of my cheek/chin Friday evening by a baseball from a line drive off of a bat. Besides the bruise on my chin, I have pain on the right side, in front of my ear canal, especially if I chew the wrong way. Today it feels like my ear canal is closing up, I am assuming from being swollen. I never lost conscience, and there was no bleeding. It looks like there is nothing anybody can do, but am worried about the ear pain/swelling. Is this normal? I am a healthy 39 year old female, with no health problems. Thank you!
