Question
It was dark and I was looking down away from the rain. I hit across my right eye/brow. It made a crunch noise and broke open the lid area at the inner brow area. It's now butterflied and I hope to not scar. What is the best over the counter anti-inflammatory for this situation? Also, should I be concerned about the bone of brow?(that crunch sound, iiish) What should I look out for with pain, swelling and/or vision? (recent gmail crash sorry)
Answer
Dear Geri,
there are many over the counter safe anti inflammatory tablets, but some have specific precautions, best to read their label, but Ibubrifen is the most popular one for swelling.
If this affects your vision and the pain and swelling do not settle, it may be best to seek advise of a doctor.
Hope this helps,
Best,
