I accidentally got a mild slap on my ear, and now it's hurting. I'm worried if this could have caused any damage, like a tear in my eardrum. Also, what kind of pain reliever should I take for this kind of ear pain?

I've noticed that the upper back part of my throat is swollen. It seemed to have gotten a bit better over the last couple of days, but it's still noticeable. I'm curious about whether this is something normal or if it's a sign of a more serious issue. Could you share some remedies or advice on what I should do about it?
