How Long Will It Take To Cure A Black Eye And Swollen Cheekbone That Was Punched Repeatedly ?
I was punched repeatedly a week ago on my cheek. My cheekbone has a hard swollen knot and hurts bad in the center and is numb around it. I have a black eye and the whole side of my face bruised. The spot on my cheekbone just now started to bruise. I had X-ray immediately after incident but dr said it wasn't broke. Dr also said have it checked in week if still a problem. I can't think and I still have trouble focusing my eye. Could it be serious or is it normal?

You have developed traumatic hematoma, it will usually take 1-2weeks for complete resolution. Residual oedema may still be there.
There is no cause for concern.
Focusing problem could be due to eyelid oedema.
