A severe injury over head is likely to produce internal bleeding. As reported by you a dent of that size is unlikely and if present, there must be severe pain accompanied by it. An urgent CT scan is advisable here, to duke out any possible bleeding in head or injury to head. Consult an ENT specialist for detailed examination of ear.
