A member asked:

Twenty minutes ago, i hit my head hard and felt a little disoriented after the impact. now my left ear canal is hurting. should i be concerned?

You should : You should first and foremost rest. This might be a minor concussion, and rest is imperative. If the pain, persists, or you feel dizzy, or you get nausea or vomiting, or your behavior is unusual, please ask someone to take you to the Emergency room
