See an oral surgeon: May be a fracture or hematoma. See an oral surgeon ASAP who will take an xray and examine you.

Seek Rx: you probably will need more than just time to heal your injury. Please make an immediate appointment with an Oral Surgeon to evaluate for fracture, tooyh damage, or soft tissue damage. Don't put it off.

Jaw fracture?: Therefore, you should see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to rule out jaw fracture. Good luck.
