Suggest Treatment For A Swollen Eye
Over the weekend I fell down a flight of stairs, my body hurts a little bit but my eye is the worst. Its swollen and I have rug burn on my face, is there anything I can do to get the swelling down or rug burn gone faster? Also, should I see a doctor? I don't want anything to get worse.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swollen of the eyes after fall from height. The swelling is because of hematoma as a result of collection of blood in the layers of skin of eyelids.
Applying cold compress can result in symptomatic relief.
If there is pain or diminution of vision, you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
