A member asked:
About 5 days ago i fell over and hit my chin on the floor, there is now pain around my right ear. should i be concerned?

Yes: The back part of your jaw bone(the mandible) is immediately in front of your ear canal. So in hitting your jaw on the ground you could have damaged that part of your skull adjacent to your ear. See an ENT maven in your area.
