What Causes Redness And Swelling On Nose Of A Baby?
my one year old baby fell out of his bed 2 nights ago and has redness and possibly some swelling on his nose. He also had a small amount of bleeding straight after it happened. He has a blocked nose but also has a cold at the moment so it is hard to tell if that is from the fall. Could he have a broken nose?

Hi... it is very unlikely to be a broken nose as the bones in the face of babies of this age are very very soft and pliant. If there is a broken nose there would have been deviation or angulation of the bridge of the nose, which was not too obvious for you. Otherwise you would have told that as the presenting complaint. So I am confident that your baby is normal. If you have any doubt you can confirm it after examination by your pediatrician.
