Is Swelling And Bleeding From A Nose Injury A Cause For Concern?
So I had an incident Saturday afternoon where i was playing softball with my brother but when the ball rolled down to the ground, my little cousin tried to threw it at us but instead hit me right in the nose which such force that I thought it was broken but it was not. I proceeded to put ice and check if it was okay, it was hurting about 5-10 minutes and a little tiny drops of blood came out and since then it s been swollen but not broken and I m worried if I should go see a medical doctor or let the swelling go down.
The best thing would be to meet an ent doctor in order to confirm if there is a fracture or not. He may ask you to do an xray to confirm the same. Please continue applying ice for 1-2 days and meet your doctor.
Thanks
