Last nite while I was eating, I got a large piece of food lodged in my throat......I\'ve had broncitis for a week now, so while eating I started coughing and WHAM got a chunk of food stuck. By the time I got it out, I lost my dinner also, and my face was DARK PURPLE!
Today my face still purple in areas and dark red in others, I guess it\'s all burst capillaries.....I look like I\'ve taken a bad beating.....My eyes are all swollen and purple underneath like black eyes.
I put ice on my face last nite, but I was wondering if anyone\'s got any ideas how long burst capillaries. red and purple face will take to heal. And if anyone\'s got any idea\'s how to move this along quickly, please let me know.....I look like road kill.

Rest and take care
The only thing that I have ever heard to help bruises heal faster is to ice the area, which you have done.
And to eat bananas
And to take the banana peel from the one you just ate, and rub the inside skin on the area that is bruised.....I have never done this but I have heard it mentioned a lot. Maybe it will work for you
I\'m afraid the dr. will think that I was a victim of domestic violence....I really look that bad.....Makeup is not gonna do a thing.
I wonder if you shouldn\'t see your doctor?
Hugs from Across the Atlantic
D...I\'m gonna try the banana peel thing. I\'m willing to try anything.
Sending Hugs and Prayers that you heal quickly.
burst capillaries should not take but a couple days to heal...put ur face to the sun for a few moments !! not long enuff to get burned tho !!
Holy Honey...that has always been my Greatest Fear...gave my goosebumps reading this Post !!
Please be sure to Eat OR Drink NO Dairy til your Bronchitis is GONE !! Drink as Much Hot Clear Liquids as you CAN !!
Hugs !!
Bonnie, Great idea to maybe get a little sun....Maybe it will heal quicker and I can get a face tan to cover it......Ummm....I have that "tan in a can" stuff....maybe I\'ll try that too.....And I haven\'t had any dairy or even soda, trying to clear my broncial tubes.....
On top of everything else, I have almost no voice since Sunday....I\'m either letting out croaks or my voice is barely a whisper.....I just had to call and leave a message on someone\'s machine, and I\'m hoping they were able to hear me talk a bit, and not think I\'m a crazy caller.....LOL
And I\'ve used banana peel for the itching with poison ivy (and it really works), but I haven\'t tried it for bruising.....interesting.

Glad you\'re OK... I don\'t know how to speed up the fading of bruises. Maybe you could just tell the doctor exactly what happened, and I bet he\'ll know what would help.
I am sending you some caring thoughts. I am really glad you were able to take care of it.
Gentle hugs, Sherrall
that\'s nver happened to me, so i have no idea how long it takes for that color to go away.... but maybe it\'s like any other bruises.... some of mine last up to 2 weeks! hopefully yours goes away sooner than that. it can\'t be fun lookin like road kill!
have you tried slicing thin slices of cucumber and putting them around your eyes? that should take most of the poofiness away, i would think. that\'s all i can think of....
take care and let us know in a few days how it\'s goin.
