What Is The Treatment For Swollen Cheekbone ?
Fell getting out of a swimming pool (on holiday Sat 1 Sep) and landed on my face, cheekbone getting all the fall. Placed ice on it for over an hour to reduce swelling, face turned black and blue however, cheekbone still swollen and sore (feels like it has a lump)

Hello,
It is due to local inflammation or contusion.
We have to rule out fracture also.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Consult an ENT specialist and plan for a CT scan.
You can also apply ice packs for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
