Question 1

hi my 15 month old has tripped over and hit his nose on the tv side it's got a cut on the bridge of nose and bad bruising but no blood is it broken?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Look at the symmetry of his nose. Apart from the edema, if his nose looks crooked, it is fractured. If it looks symmetrical, there may be a nondsiplaced fracture or no fracture which does not require any surgical intervention. See an ENT doctor asap!

Question 2

injury to bridge of nose, bruise + swelling for day or  2 with no pain til 2 weeks later sharp pain @ same spot when pressure on opposite side of nose.

Accepted Answer

See a Doc: You may have a broken nose, or worse a septal hematoma. Those can be dangerous,  its worth checking out.

Question 3

heavy container hit forehead/nose. 24 hours later,bruise on bridge of nose &area numb. no swelling,deformity. could nose b broken? is treatment needed

Accepted Answer

Maybe...: but without swelling or deformity it seems less likely.  No immediate treatment is necessary, and the bruise should heal like any other bruise. However, without seeing it I can't rule out a fracture.  If in doubt, see your doctor or Urgent Care.

Question 4

worms/pulse/tightness like feeling below the skin where sinuses are. that feeling on bridge of nose, sides of nose, tear ducts and eyebrows. no pain.

Accepted Answer

Sinus: Those symptoms may or may not be related to paranasal sinus infection. Instead they could be caused by allergies. I would try taking an antihistamine like benadryl(can cause drowsiness) or claritin which is nondrowsy. Avoid any thing that could be causing allergies, like cosmetics, dust collectors,pollen,etc.

Question 5

why does pressure / heavy feeling in bridge of nose cause nausea??i get this a lot

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't: see your PCP if you're experiencing nausea from pressure on your nasal bone. It may involve something completely different that needs to be checked out by your doctor. So make sure to have an appointment, and explain when this occurs, what makes it better or worse, and if there's nothing s/he can offer you to make it better, get a second opinion. Nausea is caused usually by GI issues.

Question 6

best help for pressure in bridge of nose/stuffy nose feeling an headaches ??

Accepted Answer

Stuffy nose: Actually nasal saline a good start for this type of problem

Question 7

pressure in bridge of nose & between eyebrows / phlegm feeling feels like dripping in back of throat/ ice cold nose ??

Accepted Answer

Mgt.: Please check your temperature, and if the symptoms continue an evaluation for bacterial sinusitis is indicated. Allergic rhinitis is usually associated with watery discharge.

Question 8

can a twitching eye cause a tingling feeling on the skin around the eye like corner of your outer & inner eye, eyebrow, bridge of nose and temple? i had a doctor examine me & was not at all concerned but i suffer from high anxiety and panic disorder?

Accepted Answer

: Most commonly, a "twitching eye" is due to a benign condition, orbital myokymia.  This can be prompted by fatigue, eye strain, stress, lack of sleep, and other conditions.  See an ophthalmologist if this proves disabling.  Your "high anxiety and panic" would benefit from counseling using cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Question 9

pain/pressure in bridge of nose an feel sickly?

Accepted Answer

Sinus infection: Could be the start of a sinus infection or simply the congestion one experiences with the common cold.

Question 10

pain from bridge of nose to back of head, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Sinus?: Most common would be a sinus issues; the sinuses are located throughout your skull to lighten your head but can get congested and fill up with mucous and fluid. If the pain is worse when you, say, lean over to tie your shoes it might be sinus congestion or infection.
Is there anything that makes the pain worse or better? Any nasal drainage or post nasal drip?
