How Can I Get Rid Of The Swelling In Cheek After Falling Down?

I fell on concrete steps about a week ago. The soreness seems to be leaving but I noticed the cheek I fell on is larger and has swollen. Is their a way to get the swelling down, or do I need to see a Doctor. The soreness has left and it is no longer sore. Just this large hard knot on the top of my butt cheek.

Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having hematoma on the part.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
If require apply thrombophob cream locally.
Ok and take care.
