Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like there has been trauma to the temporo-mandibular joint or the jaw joint.
It is causing pain in the TMJ region and can even cause headache as a radiating pain..

Nasal bleeding and headache can also be due to head injury so needs examination..

So for a confirmation of nothing serious you should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a CT Scan can be done for confirmation..
Also a Panoromic x ray can be done to check for any dislocations or fracture in the jaw joint so that further management can be done..

For now you can take pain relievers to reduce pain..

You can pinch your nostrils gently when there s bleeding and bend slightly forwards to avoid choking..
Avoid snuffing the nose vigorously..

Hope this helps.

Regards.
