Cheek Bone Hit On Falling, Face Red, Swollen, Bruising Healed. How To Reduce Swelling?
Several weeks ago I fell hit my left cheek bone. There was the typical swelling and bruising . The bone did not feel displaced or chipped by palpitation . The cheek was sore for about another week after the bruises heeled. Last week the soreness stop, but today I got up and my face was swollen. As the day progresses I notice that the area is swollen, hot, and red.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Swollen face after falling has to be evaluated clinically as well as Radiologically.
Apply frequent cold packs on the swollen area.
Also evaluate whether any cheek bones are fractured.
Apply anesthetic gel over the injured area.
Please do visit an oral -maxillofacial surgeon for further reference.
Take care.
