Need Medication For Bruise & Swelling On The Nose
My 2 year old fell on his nose yesterday, today he looks like a boxer on one side of his nose, above the nostril it's swollen and bruised. He was breathing fine, but, he sounded stuffed up. Will this damage his nose for life? Do I need to see a doctor? Thanks, Nicole
