I already asked but i need more answers. i got hit in the nose bad what do i do?


Question:
soo i was at softball practice and the ball took a bad hop and it was going so fast i didnt have time to react. it hit my nose hard and it was bleeding for about 30 minutes. its clogged up now it happened about an hour ago. under my eyes are black and my nose is swollen and turning a little purple. it hurts bad too. and now im starting to get a headache. now im icing it. but what should i do?

Answers:
With the discoloration, you may have broke your nose and I recommend you go to ER or at least call Ask-A-Nurse before doing any home remedy other than the ice packs. I had my nose broke twice. It healed crooked the first time - - had numerous sinus problems & hard to breathe with crooked nasal passages - - it should have been reset then. Pain is bad & could last a month when healing crooked. If broke, it needs to be reset - - go see Doc.

If insist on home treatment:
1) Ice nose 10-15 minutes on then 10-15 minutes off.
2) Be reclined slightly.
3) No aspirin. Take 2 over the counter IB proferin to reduce inflamation every 8 hours (will give some headache relief).
4) when can tonight, rinse inside nose out with slightly warm salt water 2-3 times. When soaked well, try to remove a little of the dried blood in nose (dried blood probably blocking sinus cavities which adds to headace & swelling under eyes).
5) continue with ice packs as long as you can.
6) tomorrow see your Dr. / if headache gets worse or you start to get dizzy, stop all above & go to ER.
I would go see a doctor. It sounds to me like it's broken. If you wait too long and it needs to be set they will have to re-break it.
go see a doctor
GO TO THE DOCTOR
OMG YOU POOR THING! I remember, long time ago i was 5 i fel on the floor hard, and my eyes swoll up black and purple, and my nose looked like the blood was orange. eeeeeeeeeeeew. Anyways, i did not think it was broken. But... my family made me go anyway. If ended up that it was badly fractored. Lets see before i went to the doctor, i took pain pills, and i had to put ice on my nose. If your having head aches, and you're nose is clogged up, then ur nose is really messed up. I would reccomend, taking Advil, putting ice on it, then go to the doctor to get it x-rayed. he might give you some kind of medicane too. God. man, i know what ya feel, i hope ur nose gets better.

:-)
I suggest that you go and get it checked out at your local hospital in case it is broken it will be painfull for several days but it is best to have it seen to as soon as possible
Go to the ER or wait until tomorrow and try to see a ENT specialist (ear, nose and throat). It sounds like it's broken. Sometimes, there's nothing that needs to be done. However, if it appears to be crooked or displaced, the doctor can insert splints to aid in keeping the cartilage, etc., in place.
Go to a walk in clinic to get an xray to see if your nose is broken can you breath out of your nose? Is is straight?
