Suggest Treatment For Pain Swollen Cheek

I was wrestling today, and I got hit with an elbow to my cheek bone. We have been putting ice packs to it, but I am very sinsative to cold things and it makes my pain worse. I work as a model, and having a black eye and swollen cheek will not do. What can I do to help this heal faster? Also how long will this take to heal? Thank you Yoshi

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and swelling over the cheek can be because of the impact or because of the fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a good oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Till then you can take an analgesic with antiinflammatory drugs like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase respectively. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
