Hello
Thanks for writing to H.C.M. for your query.
Ihave gone through your query regarding swelling appear on bridge of nose and along eye brow. There is history of hit by a soft boll 2 days back but swelling occur after two days.
Here I would like to tell you that there may be possibility of
fracture of underlying bones, and at the site of fracture there always develop
haematoma which after two days gets infected and result in prominent swelling. Some times at the site of fracture occurs
thrombosis of draining veins which results in swelling in draining area because of venous stasis.
For management point of view these investigations are necessary-
(1) X-Ray of nasal bones in A.P. & Lateral view.
(2) X-Ray
paranasal sinuses.
(3) Blood - CBC, blood sugar- F & P.P.
According to X-rays if there is fracture than that should be managed by reduction and plaster cast. on the other hand if no fracture is identified than antibiotics,
analgesic and seratiopeptidase will help.
With Regards.
