A member asked:

My nose is swollen, i am wondering how long it will take to be completely healed or close to almost healed i have used ice for one day no longer than an hour but that's it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I : I am assuming it is swollen from a blow to the nose from a fight or an accident. Typically it takes about a week to ten days for the swelling to go down. Ice is actually a good idea, but you will need to ice it more frequently. Also an over the counter anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen or advil (ibuprofen) will help. Also avoid any further trauma to your nose. If the swelling does not improve or the pain increases seek medical attention. Best of luck.
