Sore, Bleeding Nose And Stiff Jaws After Sustaining A Facial Injury. Is This A Cause For Concern?
I fell into the soap dish in my shower a week ago. The right side of my face is still a little bruised, but most of the swelling has gone down. My eye is still a bit bruised and the bleeding in my eye is going down. I am concerned with my nose still being sore and spitting up blood (fresh and clotted). Also, my jaw is still a little stiff and it is hard to chew, because the front right side of my maxillary bone is sore and the teeth are numb.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you are having are commonly seen after a facial injury. These are likely to improve after rest and cold compress in next 7-10 days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
