Hi,
Due to hard hit there is hematoma formed on head now gravitated down in the eye and surrounding giving rise to black eye.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day.
Go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines after consulting your doctor.
Put antibiotic eye drops 3-4 times a day.
Ok and take care.
