Hello,

I am really sorry for your accident.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-continue taking anti inflammatory medication such as Aleve every four to six hours
-apply ice packs at the area
-keep the head elevated

If you have other symptoms like sudden loss of the vision you should go to the emergency room for further evaluation.
