What Causes A Swelling Around The Bridge Of The Nose?
My gran had a bump to the head and just above the bridge of the nose about 19 hours ago. I can see some swelling now around the bridge of the nose and also a blob dark reddish shade/bruising on the skin at the inner corner of each eye. She says it does not hurt and can breathe through her nose and vision seems normal. What do you suggest?

Hello,
Selling around the bridge of nose after suffering from a bump is most probably due to trauma causing a hematoma.
The swelling is likely to get relieved within a few days.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
