If you get a severe headache or dizziness or nausea or loss of motor/muscle control, have somebody take you to the ER.
Otherwise, take it slow if you feel you need to for 24 hours then get back to your normal routine.

Hi Mark,
Hit my head on the side a few inches above my ear. Now when I open my mouth or chew it hurts (seems like there are muscles that move in this area)
Should I get an x ray to see whats going on? Or is this just an inflammation thing that hopefully will improve. Sorry so many questions.
One more - when is it safe to take an anti-inflammatory after this kindve hit.
Thanks
