Hi,
Sounds to be hematoma formation following toddler injury. My guidelines at present for best recovery
- local application of ice over the eye and nose
- anti-inflammatory drug as ibuprofen if no history of drug sensitivity
- get prescription of antibiotics as cephalosporins or else as per the choice of your consultant to get it resolved faster and avoid secondary bacterial infection
- X-ray of the nose is best needed to rule out fracture nasal bone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
