If you had any of the above problems you would know it by now. Swelling and pain is normal, icing is the proper way to reduce swelling. If you had a concussion you would be lethargic and not be able to stand or walk. You know signs from previous concussion. Not enough trauma for broken bone. Take ADVIL or IBUPROPHEN for pain and swelling.

Not feasible to exclude possible orbital ridge fracture. Facial bone X-rays could be considered. Let your doctor know what occurred
