Hello. Thank you for your message.

Apply a cold compress soon after the injury, using gentle pressure, to reduce swelling. Repeat several times a day for a day or two.
Look for blood. If you see it in the white or colored parts of the eye, seek urgent care by an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).
Seek medical care immediately if you have vision problems (double vision, blurring), severe pain, bruising around both eyes, or bleeding in an eye or from the nose.
Apply warm compresses. This may be helpful after a few days when the swelling has stabilized. Repeat several times a day for a day or two.
