DS1 was playing rugby yesterday and got hit hard on the nose by another player. He complained of pain last night, so I gave him Nurofen and he was still complaining this morning before school, so I dosed him again. His nose is not bent out of shape. There is some swelling, but no visible discoloration. How do I tell if it's broken? And if it is, is there any treatment? If he's in a lot of pain, obviously I will take him to get it x-rayed, but I'm wondering if it's necessary otherwise. Does anyone know?
