Treatment for facial injuries depends on the severity and location of the injury. There is great importance of First-Aid treatment during any trauma. First-Aid prevents further injury or relieves injured of pain and shock.
Here are some tips for First-Aid for treating common facial injuries:
Apply pressure to stop bleeding, then wash the area with soap and water. You can apply an antiseptic lotion or cream, and cover with a bandage. Change the dressing often and keep the area clean and dry. For bruises, apply an ice pack for 10–15 minutes every 1–2 hours for the first 24 hours.
If you can't stop the bleeding by applying pressure to your nose, go to the emergency department.
A doctor will need to line up and hold the bones in place so they can heal. Depending on the severity of the injury, this can take six or more weeks.
Apply ice for 10–20 minutes to reduce inflammation. Continue this treatment for 48–72 hours. You can also take over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) for symptom relief.
You should seek immediate medical help if you think you have a facial fracture. Early intervention can reduce the risk of long-term complications.
