What to do if your nose is broken in a fight

If you break your nose in a fight, you need to go to the hospital for a CT scan, which can clearly show the severity of the fracture. If there is no obvious displacement, no special treatment is needed. You can take anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs under the guidance of a doctor to promote healing. If the fracture is obviously comminuted, it can be treated by surgical reduction.

1. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic: Common anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs in clinical practice usually include indomethacin, acetaminophen and other drugs. When a patient suffers a minor fracture, it will cause inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues and swelling may also occur. By taking anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, the treatment effect can be achieved.

2. Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis: Drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis usually include Panax notoginseng blood circulation capsules, blood circulation and pain relief capsules, etc. Patients with minor fractures can promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and enhance physical fitness by taking blood circulation promoting and blood stasis removing drugs.

3. Surgical reduction: Surgical reduction mainly uses surgical methods to expose the fracture site and perform correction and reduction of the fracture ends. When the patient has a severe fracture, surgical reduction can achieve the ideal treatment effect.

During the recovery period, patients can eat more foods high in calcium, which can help with recovery. They should pay more attention to rest and try to eat light and easily digestible foods.
