A member asked:

Hi my 4 year old son fell and bumped his nose against the wall. it is swollen any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BASICS: At that age the nose is mostly soft cartilage & tissue. Breaks are uncommon. Yet a blood vessel can break inside & result in a blood pocket that needs to be identified & treated. Failure to do so can result in complications. I would have him examined today to identify any issue that needs immediate attention.
