Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, there is a injury to the face, cheek, side of the nose, the parts are delicate, and easy to be disturbed.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. to exclude the head injury.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms cifixime, ornidazole, serratiopeptidase, diclofenac , and paracetamol.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
