Hello,

To reduce the swelling you will have to take analgesics like Naproxen/ Combiflam, one sos when pain & apply a cold compress to feel better. Stay away from stress & prefer to relax in a dimly lighted room.

Bruising & black eye go away on their own. If the severe headache is not getting reduced, you need to get yourself physically examined to rule out any type of developing Glaucoma & to rule out any vision problem.

You may need antibiotics & other medications. You can apply Geneticin eye drop, 2-3 drops twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
