Does A Black Eye After An Injury Indicate A Broken Bone Underneath It ?
Black eye... do I have a broken bone? Should I spend money on an eray? I have a very swollen black eye. Right after I hurt myself my nose was pouring blood so I blew my nose. Instantly, underneath the injured eye puffed up and discolored. Does this mean that I definmitely have a broken bone somewhere? I don t have insurance and I know xrays can be pricey. I heard that you can get menangitis, etc if you have a fracture. Any suggestions?

Hi, Tracy,
Thanks for query,
Black eye after injury always to be evaluated,even there is no fracture you should take it seriously and should be examined by eye specialist for any soft tissue injury in the eye.
Mean while take antibiotic and anti inflammatory medicines.
Put antibiotic eye drops.
ok and bye.
