What To Do For The Scrape And Swelling On Elbow And Nose?
i fell tonight while running - deep scrape just above my elbow immediately swelled to a ball like shape. Also fell on my nose which i heard crack - it too is swollen and sore - but not unbearable.

answer: Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think ITS traumatic injury so get done x ray for both elbow and nose to diagnose any fracture and take inj tetenus toxoid, dressing for deep scratch
by mean while have tab ciplox500mg and tab.zerodol p twice daily for 5 days
you may continue training and try to change shoes which does not cause too much irritation
