A Softball Hit Me Just Below The Eye...?

a few days ago, a softball hit me just below the eye. i didnt take any serious injury, but it is still swollen a tiny bit. it doesnt hurt, but when ever something touches it, I feel a dull pain.

how can i make it stop?

You may need to get that checked to be sure you don't have a fractured eyesocket or cheekbone. That sounds scary, probably, but x-rays would be easy, and then you'd know for sure that it's just a deep bruise.

u can't it needs to heal

Take Advil or Aleve and put some ice on it. It will take time for the area to heal. Its probably bruised.

Apply cold compresses (ice, wrapped in a dishtowel).
Take some motrin with your food, too. That'll help with the pain.

You could have a fractured orbit, or cheekbone.. How's the bruising? I would get an Xray if I were you, to make sure.

Hope it helps.

Take some medicine and apply some ice to it. :) Good Luck
