I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like my uvula is always touching my tongue. It's like there's something stuck in my throat and I keep feeling the need to swallow it down.

I recently got into a fight and ended up being slapped really hard, like twice or thrice on the left side of my face, near my ear and cheek, and close to my eye area. Right after, I had some bleeding inside my mouth, probably from biting down with my teeth. The next morning, I noticed a ringing in my ear, but there wasn't any pain. I'm struggling to hear as well out of that ear compared to the other one. There's also some swelling on my face. I'm guessing my hearing is around 50 to 60 percent, but it's just a rough estimate. Should I be worried about this? What do you think is going on with my ear and hearing?
