Got snapped in the eye with a towel, need advice (Plus bonus cop video)
A friend accidentally snapped me in the eye with a towel and now the corner of my eye is really swollen.
Is there anything I can buy to help the swelling? Like a cream, fluid, something like that? It's not my eye ball, it's the inner corner of my left eye, it's really red and puffy/swollen and hurts like hell when I blink. I dont have anything in my eye, I already checked. Just want advice on what to do, thanks!
Totally not related but I figured that I'd throw in some entertainment to this thread.
Ode to iLoqin: Here's what happens when you screw with a rental cop:

Brucelee: if the towel was wet, make sure to rinse out your eye thoroughly and apply ice. You don't have to go to a medical supply store, a bag of frozen peas works wonders, just make sure you have some sort of barrier between the ice and you so you don't damage the skin.
An Ibprofen or any other NSAID (alieve, naproxen, advil etc) would also reduce the pain and swelling.
