Branch: Make sure there is not an abrasion to his cornea or problems with his vision. If there was trauma to the inside of his nose watch for increased swelling inside the nose with trouble breathing on that side. Sometimes a bruise called a hematoma can occur and needs to be treated rapidly. It is also possible that the branch may have injured other structures. See an ear, nose and throat doctor.
