It is common to have swelling and mild pain after a facial injury from a bike accident, and proper care can help healing.

🩺 Immediate Care Steps

• Clean the injured area gently with mild soap and water to prevent infection.
• Apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in cloth for 10-15 minutes every few hours to reduce swelling.
• Avoid touching or pressing the injured site unnecessarily.

💊 Medicines and Creams

• A topical antiseptic ointment like Betadine Ointment can be applied to prevent infection and aid healing.
• Over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol can help manage mild pain if needed.
• Avoid using creams or ointments not recommended by a doctor, especially near the nose and eyes.

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

• If swelling worsens, pain increases, or you notice pus, fever, or difficulty breathing.
• If there is any change in vision or persistent bleeding.
• For a thorough evaluation and possible imaging to rule out fractures or deeper injury.
