Dear Hit In The Jaw - Go To Doctor?,
If you are experiencing tightness, swelling or pain it probably is a good idea to see a doctor. Even if there are no major injuries, the doctor will advise you how to best relieve your discomfort.
If you live in northern New Jersey you could call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-889.6350 for an appointment with a doctor.
