Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain and swelling in the face is concerned it can be because of the fractured bone. Nothing to be panic consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it evaluated. You need to get the radiographs done to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed we can treat accordingly. I hope I have answered your query Take care
