What Causes Pain In Face And Throat After Head Injury?

Hi, I hit my head yesterday and now I have a sore right hand side of the throat as well as ear and neck pain only on that side. The throat feels like tonsillitis as it hurts when I swollow but the pain shoots right round the side of my face, into my ear and the back of my neck. I've never had pain like this before I hope you can help me

Hello
You need to see a doctor immediately for an exam and x-rays of your neck since you could well have a neck fracture
