General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day to you. I am sorry to hear about the incident.
You have an abrasion injury on your cheek after getting hit by the branch. Now the swelling and rashes are getting smaller. I would suggest that you keep the injured area clean by alcohol swab or betadine oitment. Apply moisturizing lotion to prevent further damage to the skin. It will heal by itself.
In case if swelling or redness increases or there is more pain, consult doctor as you may need some antibiotic ointment.
