Imaging recommended: A simple bruising should have resolved by now. It is important to get imaging such as X Rays done to rule out a depressed skull fracture. See a doctor who can examine and decide if this is needed

Long time: for soreness from just a bruise. Given that the pain relates to full jaw opening would have to wonder about the Temporomandibular joint or mandible. Friend should probably have an x-ray. Meanwhile, apply heat and limit full jaw opening.
