Bruised Nose? Ow!

[NotQuiteCockney]

Yesterday, and now this morning, the bridge of my nose really hurts. Like maybe I've bruised the bone? I think I remember DS2 bashing me on the nose on Tuesday, so it's not that surprising, but it really really bloody well hurts. It aches a bit, most of the time, more when I lie down, and really hurts if I touch it, or if I blow it.

I've taken iboprofen (this morning), is there anything else I can do?

Try the homoeopathic remedy arnica, either tablets or cream (but be careful not to get cream in your eyes!) - it's great for bruises.

i keep reading your thread as 'bruised nose owl'

me too TutterIckOrTreat. nose pains seem to take ages to heal

eeeeek. Poor you NQC

Hmm, I don't really "do" homeopathy.

There's no point in seeing a doc, is there?

It's feeling a bit better today, anyway. Maybe it's finally getting better. I shrugged it off yesterday as "just one of those things", but to still be suffering today seems excessive ...

Oh, and I see what you mean now, re: bruised nose owl. I hope nobody gets this thread confused with all those threads about bruised nose owls, that would be annoying.
