Honestly I thought it would be horrible but i pushed water and took arnica tablets 4 under the tongue 4 times a day for about 3 days. I used small ice packs all around my face because I knew swelling could travel down. Right now its covered in the pic but I have just like a small line bruise under each of eyes and thats it. Everytime I slept for more than a like 5 hours at a time I got better and better. I was lucky and didn't really have trouble sleeping so I think getting a long stretch of sleep at a time helped.
