Got in a fight.

Got in a fight last night. Now my cheek is all puffy. So what else (besides ice) can I use to get rid of it?

Answer #1

Time.

Otherwise, there’s a natural herb called arnica which comes in ointment or gels, which really helps with things like bruises for pain and appearance. You might be able to find it in a regular drug store, but may have to go to a health food store. Add the tube to your medicine cabinet and your family will use it again. Good for sore muscles too.

I think most painkillers are anti-inflammatory, so that might help. (The swelling is inflammation.)

And don’t mess with it too much or the inflammation may increase.
