Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the trauma or because of fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can continue the pain killers.
I hope i have answered your query. take care.
