Hello dear,
I understand your concern.You got hurt and developed a bump on the left temple,which is tender and restricts jaw movements due to pain.It may be having inflammatory changes.Some non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) may help to relieve pain.Please visit a general surgeon,so that he may examine to see if there is any hematoma or infectious process going on, and manage it accordingly.I hope it helps.
