Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain bruising and swelling after injury or trauma occurs due to breakage of small blood vessels leading to spillage of blood into the soft tissues leading to hematoma formation and appears as bruising and swelling..

It takes a comparatively longer time for the hematoma to resolve and the bruising and swelling disappears slowly and gradually as the hematoma is decomposed..

I would also suggest you to get an x ray done to get ruled out for any fractures in the cheek bone..

For swelling and bruising apply alternate warm and cold packs like warm pack for few minutes and cold packs for the other few for faster healing..

In case of pain you can take over the counter painkiller like Ibuprofen for relief.

In case of localized discomfort on the cheek numbing gel can be applied.

Hope your query is solved..
