Badly Sunburned, Nose Bridge Swollen. What Do I Need To Do So That My Face Goes Back To Normal?

I was badly sunburned this past weekend (4 days ago), and the bridge of my nose around my inner eyelids is completely swollen. I look so...strange. I know this will be a process, but I just want to be assured that my face will, in fact, unswell and look quasi normal again. It seems to be going down a bit, but I m still not certain. What do I need to do?

Hello

Do not worry at all. Every thing will be back normal.. just that it will take a bit of time.
Use Sunscreen and avoid sunexposure totally..

if there is too much swelling take anti inflammatory like trypsin chymotripsin medicine 1 tds for a week

Hope this helps.

Thanks
