Hello and welcome to HCM,
Head trauma followed by bruising behind ear is suggestive of fracture of skull bones and thus collection of blood behind the ear.
A CT scan of head is urgently required to look for any damage done.
Prompt action can avoid major damage.
Head injuries can remain asymptomatic for quite some time and may produce symptoms later.
Thanks and take care
