Signs of a Broken Nose
10. What to Do?
If you do have a broken nose, there are some things that you should do straightaway. First of all, you should sit up and lean forward. This will help keep your head higher than your heart is, and will also help to prevent the blood from dripping down the back of your throat.
In addition, take something cold if it is available and place it on the affected area. This will help to constrict the blood vessels, limiting the flow of blood to the area. It is important to do this quickly to help reduce the swelling until the blood vessels are repaired.
