Hi dear
Welcome to the platform of Health care magic
Dear friend you require some analgesics and anti inflammatory medicine for three to five days. Black eye which you have developed will take some time as blood which has squeezed out of small vessels will take some time to be absorbed.
You can continue with the cold compresses.
you should also take some antibiotics so that bruised area do get infected.
Hope your query is answered
Thanks
