PLEASE HELP ME! Swollen Nose and Pain with Watery Eyes and Stuffy Nose PLEASE HELP!

**lyshaf92** · 06-06-2011 07:41 PM

Since Saturday i hit my nose pretty hard but i dont believe it's broken or anything but it hurts every time i touch it hurts and its been swollen for hmm today makes 3 days now. Today i notice im experiencing a stuffy nose and watery eyes and sneezing. Yesterday is when one eye started bothering me actually and the other one started acting up today just randomly watering. I do not have allergies. Has anyone ever experienced this before or does any one know what i can do to help with the pain and swelling.

What i've been doing so far is i iced the nose the same day i got hit in it and the days that followed but it doesn't look like it's helping. Should i continue icing it anyway?
Along with that i take ibuprofen to see if that would help but it doesn't LOOK that way should i continue with this or discontinue? Thats pretty much all iv'e been doing so anymore tips or anything i can do, suggestions maybe? Anything would be appreciated .

Also, One last thing because i was sneezing so much i took some medication called ' Histal' For coughs, cold and bronchial conditions. Will i be able to take ibuprofen since i've take that or no? I'm not really a fan of mixing drugs it scares me

. Do you think i should wait couple hours or something cause it feels really tender right now and i want to take something for the pain.

Once again thanks for taking time to read this i really appreciate and a heartfelt thanks to all those who respond to the video. Thank you!

Welcome to the Forum.

I honestly think only a Doctor can answer you this, you need extrays it may be broken, it may be bruised severely internally, it may be sprained, you may have an infection as well.

Sounds broken to me. When I broke mine all it did was swell and get hard to breathe for a few days. You should probably see a doctor.

Histal contains no NSAIDs (over the counter pain killers) so taking one like ibuprofen with it should be fine. Most over the counter meds are fine to combine so long as you aren't taking something that already includes the other med. They make them over the counter because there is not much danger in mixing them and it's hard to take too much. If there's much risk involved with a med they make it prescription so doctors can check what else you are taking and tell you what you have to be careful of while on that med.

I would definitely go see a doctor. I've smacked my nose pretty good a couple of times and be sensitive and sneezing for days after, but never swelling. Definitely get it checked out.
