Hello,welcome to HCM,
Thanks for your query.
Looks like you had quite a fall
Don’t worry abuot the black eye ,it is collection of blood in the soft tissue around the eye . this resolves in a couple of weeks
Secondly the swelling on your cheek is still painful to touch and its 4weeks past.
In this case do visit an ortopedician/oral-maxllofacial surgeon(facial bone specialist).an x ray of face front/side will give a clear picture
Do take painkillers(diclofenac)and serrstiopeptidase tabs.to reduce swelling and pain.
Cold compresses 2-3 times a day will also help.
Hope you get good guideline by this.
