thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling could be secondary to the impact or it can be because of the fractured nasal or orbital or maxillary bone. consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done like OPG and rule out any fractures. meanwhile you can take analgesics and antiinflammatory drugs. i hope my answer will help you take care.
