Should I Be Concerned About The Swelling And Bruising On My Toddler's Nose Following A Fall?
My 2 year old daughter fell between two chairs and hit the bridge of her nose. It swollen left and right about half way up the nose for a while. Now it's purple and eyes have a little darkness. She cried for a while and then we let her nap for a little while. She's happy and playing now but again it's bruised bad. Is it a break possible with the way it rose up two inches on both sides of her nose about half way. The swelling isn't as bad now. What do I do?
