How do I bring down the swelling and pain on/in my...

...eye? I recently (a few days ago) got slammed in the eye with the end of a guitar (accedent). It didnt hit my eyeball but mostly the bone around my eye, near my eyebrow, and the cornor of my eye. I got an X-ray nothing is broken, but it is very very swollen, red, and puffy. I saw an eye specialist he said to just ice it, but its not working very well at all. Also it is very painful, Advil and Tylonol aren't working at all. Thanks.

Ice is good for the first 24 hours (20 minute intervals), but after the first 24, you should stick to heat compresses around your eye to increase circulation to the area and help ease some of the pain. Tylenol would be the best for you to take without a doctor prescribing anything different.

I would just keep a warm towel on it! Call your doctor to see if the can give you any other pain medication. Feel better!

why not try motrin 800, tell your doc, when I had my c-section doc gave me motrin 800 and percoset 5 mg, to interchange, only for 20 days and it helped a lot!!!
