What Can Be Done About The Knot And Swelling Formed Under Eye?
I was punched in the face about 2 weeks ago, my eye was swollen severely and was black and blue for a while, the swelling and bruise is gone but i have this knot under my eye on the bone and it feels really gross under my skin, i don't know what this means or how to get rid of it. I went to the doctor already after the incident and had an X-ray and everything was okay, should I have another one done ?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had an injury following which you are having swelling of the eye and knot.
The swelling is because of hematoma as a result of collection blood under the layers of skin.
The treatment is by cold compress and use of antiinflammatory drugs.
Since the X ray is normal no need to worry the swelling and knot will come down.
Thank you
