Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Swelling over the face what you are having is because of inflammation of sinuses due to incomplete drainage because of blockage.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Take steam inhalation twice daily.
2. Put nasal decongestant drops containing Oxymetazoline twice daily.
3. Take antiallergic medication Tablet.Levocetirizine once a day.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Broken nose and concussion injuries to the face generally causes facial swelling due to oedema.
It would subside when the injury heals from inside.
Kindly take the medication like the prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory-analgesic medication and gradually the swelling would subside too.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
