A member asked:
I got hit right where the jaw connects to the neck. and my ear hurts when i yawn or hiccup. it is also swollen in that area. could it be the glands?

No: It could be the neck of the mandible or the tissues surrounding it. Treat it like a bad bruise or contusion. If it is not improving or your bite is off, see your dentist. All the best.
