Suggest Treatment For Black Eye After An Injury

Recovery time is unpredictable...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I fully understand the nature of your concern. However if you had bleed considerably after the initial injury, the healing process is often delayed beyond 4 weeks. I am also not sure if you had iced the affected area after injury - that might have improved the healing time.
At this point, as it seems to be fading down you need not be concerned. Based on my experience, it might go down in the next 2 weeks. You should consult the doctor if it worsens however.
Avoid pressure. You can use warm and moist compresses when every couple of hours to fasten the process of healing. Do not sleep on the affected side and more important, make sure you sleep well.
Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards


change in color is normal...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Glad you iced it well. Now try warm and moist heat compresses to faster healing process.
Changing colour is normal. It happens with every bruise/haematoma/black eye. Over the period of next few days, the colour will get lighter and disappear.
Don't be worried. This will eventually disappear and will become as normal as it was before injury.
Hope this addressed your concern. Feel free to ask clarifications before closing discussion.
Best regards
