A member asked:

Was punch in the eye/nose..have a black eye(4-5 days now). how long before all the swollen is complete gone. what time frame should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Takes few wks: Will take a month or so to clear all blood to disappear . Once you checked by your doctor for eye injuries and nasal fractures you don't have to worry and avoid another similar episode
