How To Treat Face Injury?
I was accidentally hit in the face...an elbow went into my eye socket area and cheekbone. 24 hrs later I still have pain around eye cheekbone and a little in the jaw. Little swelling under eye and what looks like a small area of broken blood vessels in eye on that side. I can see fine but just in pain. I have terrible health insurance and don t want to overreact as I don t think the cheekbone is fractured but possibly a hairline fracture. Should I get an gray to find out though

Hello,
Consult a neurosurgeon and plan for a CT scan.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
