Suggest Remedy To Subside Swelling In Nose

I was hit in the forehead just above the left eyebrow with a golf ball today. My nose began bleeding immediately and stopped shortly after but it was a substantial nosebleed. There was some swelling. The swelling has gone down. However, there is still bruising and slight swelling. The swelling is soft to the touch and feels possibly like fluid or tissue. Should I be worried?

Hi,
It is better to see a doctor because you may need an x ray to rule out fracture.
Keep some ice on it till you can see a doctor.
