Why Am I Unable To Have Food After Bruising My Face?
Hi....A week ago on holiday i tripped over a curb and scratched the side of my face but since then i cannot eat anthing solid.There was no bleeding or any teeth loose and i can move my mouth and talk fine and eat very soft foods...Is this just bruising and if so how long can it take to heal?
