What Is The Remedy For Severe Nose Pain After An Injury?
I got punched in my nose so hard I literally saw stars. Now the left side of my nose closer to the top hurts so bad that if I accidentally touch it it brings tears to my eyes because its so painful. I don't think that it's broken so what could be going on? Please help
Firstly, MRI/CT is important to assess the severity of damage (whether it is fracture of the nasal bone or damage/rupture of the nasal septum).
Damage/rupture of the nasal cartilage will gradually recover either, on its own or, may require surgical correction (depending on the MRI findings); while a fracture of the bone will require appropriate treatment.
Till then, a course of anti-inflammatory pain-killer, such as, ibuprofen + paracetamol combination, will reduce the pain and inflammation at the injury site.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.
