Ice for a couple of days and then it will get better. A modest pain reliever might help like tylenol (acetaminophen) (not Aspirin as it can stimulate bleeding.). ...Read more

Doc said wearing glasses changes nose shape. Is it from constant wear? Did few times worn pushed on tip of nose & a little pinching w/ fingers cause it
