I was hit in the face on Friday. There was significant swelling and now most of it has gone down and it is just black. There is numbness in the cheek down towards my mouth. I was looking into blowout fractures of the orbit but i don t think that is the case here cause there is no double vision or sinking of the eye right now. Any possible explanations?
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. The swelling and inflammation are normal after an injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. Furthermore, I recommend to rest. If you don't have vision issues, there is nothing to be worried. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
