What is going on?

Hello,
Its sad that you had to go through such a lot a trouble with your jaw. Any swelling after a hit needs to be taken seriously and there could be underlying problems in your jaw like a fracture. Please visit an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon at the earliest to get proper treatment for your problem. Hope you get well soon.
