Swelling And Bleeding As Handle Hit On Nose, Black And Blue On Eye. Is It Broken? Should I Consult A Doctor?
Yesterday I was loading boxes into a dolly one box was very heavy and as I dropped it the dolly handle flew up and hit me on the right side if my nose. It instantly swelled and bleed from the point if impact. I have not had blurred vision but it is still swollen, and it seems that I have a stuffy nose on the side I was hit. The black and blue on my eye is more pronounced today, but a very small area on the inside socket of my eye. Should I see a doctor? Is it broken? Should I keep icing it? Please help! Thanks!
