Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history, seen the picture and understood your concerns.
Fortunately, the wounds on face, lips heal very fast.
You may please take tablet Ibuprofen after food if it suits you. Take with milk or after food.
There looks to e bruise and mild deformity of the nose, hence I would advise you to have X-ray lateral view of the nose to see if there is fracture and have an opinion of an ENT Surgeon.
Applying ice helps in reduction of pain and swelling.
Do not fondle the bruises as it increases swelling and pain.
I hope this answers your query and helps you.
