In agony after being punched in the face. could something be broken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is possible.: That is possible. Especially if punched near the zygomatic arch near the eye. The only way to know is by getting a medical evaluation and an x-ray. If you are in severe pain & go to the emergency room you can be fully assessed and helped with pain relief.
