General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the swollen eye after injury indicates post traumatic hematoma formation due to compression injury of soft tissue of the eyelid and surrounding structures. The management guidelines involve:
- Thorough splashing of eye with cold tap water
- Local application of ice every 4 hourly
- Antibiotics as cephalexin or penicillin covering gram positive organisms to prevent secondary bacterial infection
- Anti-inflammatory medicines as diclofenac with proteolytic enzyme serratiopeptidase to resolve the lump faster

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
