Swelling in a patient’s eye after a bump can be treated with physical therapy and medication to promote the swelling to subside, but it usually does not subside immediately.
After the patient’s eye is hit, because of the mechanical stimulation of the external force can lead to the patient’s soft tissue around the eye swelling, bruising. Within 48 hours of eye trauma, patients can use ice packs or ice towels to apply cold compresses to the eyelids to promote local vasoconstriction and reduce the leakage of intravascular fluid into the tissue space to avoid aggravation of edema.
After 48 hours of eye trauma, patients can use local hot compresses on the eyelids to accelerate blood circulation around the eyes, which can promote the swelling of the eyelids to subside. Patients can also follow the doctor’s instructions to use blood circulation drugs, such as Yunnan Baiyao, to promote the absorption of bleeding.
It is recommended that patients with eye trauma who have significant eye swelling consult a doctor to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
