Hello! so i fell on the door and hit my chin on the ground (not hard) but my chin is slightly swollen and i have an open wound, after 10 mins of pressure the bleeding stopped. what can i do to reduce swelling/cure the wound. i cant afford hospital?

Clean it well with warm water with some peroxide in it. You can buy Steri-strips (or equivalent) at the Drug store and put them over the wound and try to pull it closed with the strips. One placed right next to the other. Keep them in place for at least 5-7 days. If you cover them with another bandage that will help from pulling them off when you sleep. Ibuprofen for swelling. Expect bruising.
