What Causes Swelling On The Bridge Of The Nose?
My daughter is on vacation with my parents on the Oregon coast. She just texted me telling me she woke up with swelling of the bridge if her nose and eyes. She has has a sun burn and has been on the ocean and river the past two days. They Gabe her benadryl over and hour ago and there is no change in the swelling. What could this be?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The swelling on the bridge of the nose could be due to sunburn or insect bite.
Ask your parents to look for any site of insect bite. If not, it's due to sunburn.
Apply cold compressess locally.
After sun cooling cream or gel with aloe vera can help.
Take Benadryl orally too.
If no improvement, send her to ER
Wish fast recovery.
