Hello,

I would suggest you to take paracetamol 500 mg thrice a day for migraine headache, temple swelling and for pain over the injured area.

Apply a cold compress on the injured area and limit movement of jaw to reduce inflammation.

Try to eat semisolid or soft food to reduce discomfort. If the pain worsen, or if get symptoms of vision disturbance , alteration of consciousness occur; consider going to ER.

In addition, avoid contact sport for a minimum of three days or till the symptoms subside, whichever is earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ayesha Shareef
