Patient's question:
The baby is two and a half years old. When playing outside, the nose got hit. After that, they said it hurt and cried for a long time. They have a slight cold, and the nose has blood when they wake up, but it's not bright red nosebleed. Now the nose is swollen, and it's also swollen from the inside. It hurts when moved. Will it be a fracture?Doctor's answer:
If the nose is crooked after a nasal trauma or if there are concave areas, indicating a nasal bone fracture, it is recommended to undergo a CT scan of the nasal bones for confirmation. If confirmed, early surgical reduction and correction are necessary, with the best time generally being within one week after the injury. However, based on the photos you shared, it is highly unlikely that there is a nasal bone fracture.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 2.5-year-old child bumps their nose while playing?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness every day!
