Diagnosis and Treatment:
- When to Seek Medical Attention: It’s crucial to seek immediate medical care if experiencing:
- Head or neck injuries
- Difficulty breathing
- Uncontrollable bleeding
- Clear, watery fluid draining from the nose
- Diagnosis Process:
- Assessment of crepitus (crackling sensation) and tenderness over the nasal bone area
- Radiographic evaluation, such as X-rays or CT scans, to assess the extent of the fracture
- Treatment Options:
- Ice Application: Applying ice packs to the affected area can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Head Elevation: Keeping the head elevated, even while sleeping, can aid in reducing swelling.
- Medication: Pain relievers and antibiotics may be prescribed to manage pain and prevent infections.
- Closed Reduction Surgery: This procedure involves manually setting the broken bone back into place without making any incisions in the skin.
- Rhinoplasty: A surgical procedure aimed at repairing and reshaping the nose. Incisions are typically made inside the nostrils to access the nasal structures.
- Septorhinoplasty: Combining Septoplasty (correction of a deviated septum) with Rhinoplasty for both functional improvement of nasal airflow and cosmetic enhancement of the nose’s appearance.
