Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Numbness In Chin After A Fall

Hi, 5 days ago i fell off my bike and hit my chin. Initially there was some swelling, but it went down and left a bruise. My chin has still been pretty numb so I was wondering about nerve damage. Also now the bruise has begun to fade, but the swelling is still there and may be even a bit worse today. there is not much pain. I just wanted to know if the swelling/numbness is something to worry about.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your chin. You got Hematoma (bruise). There is numbness due to injury of cutaneous nerves inside the bruise. There is no need to worry swelling will gradually reduce in due course of time. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful for pain relief. Mecobalamin is useful for reducing the numbness. Vitamin B and C are helpful in reducing numbness. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
