In the process of trying to break up a fight ( stepping in ) I got clocked pretty hard. My eye is all swollen , damn near shut. I waswondering if any one knew what I could do to stop the swelling. I've used ice butI was curious if someone knew a good home remedy ? Thanx in advace .

 

try a slice of raw steak

 

^ thats a myth


Not a doctor, but just keep an ice pack on it.

 

take ibuprofin (sp?). it thins out the blood slightly to reduce swelling and blood pressure.

 

Has more to do w/ cyclooxygenase, but yeah, take an anti-inflammatory. & keep icing it periodically.

How's your vision?

*im not an MD or anything, but i asked my bro who is...says "are you sure nothing is broken?" you might want to get it checked out as a precautionary. You have a few tiny bones near the orbital which would be bad it broken....An x-ray or two will give you some peace of mind

 

ice might help a bit in the beginning, but based on what you wrote, it's too late to make a big difference

you should pry open your lid and check your vision and look at your eyeball -- double vision (especially on upward gaze) or change in visual acuity = go to a doc/ER

a swollen lid is nothing - it goes away in a few days - the key is what's going on underneath

 

damn that sux, whats teh story behind it
