How to Treat a Black Eye

1-If you control the swelling in the area, you’ll also help control the pain. That means applying something cold to the eye. This could be:
*Ice wrapped in a towel
*A gel pack you have kept in the fridge for such occasions
*A bag of frozen peas
*Sticking your face in a snow bank (not easy if it’s summer and you’re in Orlando).
2-Apply the cold compresses 10 minutes on your face, 10 to 15 minutes off. Ice should be covered with a towel to protect your eyelid, where the skin is pretty thin. In fact, it’s better to apply the compresses to your cheek, not the lid, to avoid further damage.
3-Keep this routine going with the cold compresses for the next day or two. Boring? Of course, but you should have thought of that before you got the black eye.
4-Treat the inflammation. Use acetaminophen. Avoid aspirin, as that thins the blood, and what you’re hoping to do is to get the blood to clot and stop leaking into surrounding tissues.
5-Take large doses of Vitamin C for the next five days; this has been shown to promote healing of contusions.
6-After one or two days, switch from cold compresses to warm compresses.
7-Try to control sneezing (like, don’t sniff ground black pepper) and don’t blow your nose for several days. In the event the bone around the eye has had some minor fracturing, expelling air forcefully from your nose will also force air out of sinuses near the socket, injecting it under your skin. Like most injections, this doesn’t feel good. Moreover, it may also cause additional swelling and increase the possibility of infection.
