Suggest Remedy For Bleeding From Nose After Injury
My 3 year fell and hit her nose at daycare/preschool today. The teacher didn t think it was that bad because she didn t see what actually happened. She fell into the toilet playing around after using the bathroom. This is what my daughter said happened. There is some blood draining from her nose now and build up of blood inside her nostril. My daughter seems fine and is playing as normal, but nose is swollen. This happened 8 hours ago, and was iced after it happened. Should we be concerned enough to take her to the ER?

Hi,
Now as there is swelling on nose is there this might be due to soft tissue damage or likely of having fracture of small nasal bones as well.
So it is safe to take her to ER for examination and if require X-ray of nose.
Meanwhile apply ice pack.
Ok and take care.
