Hello
If the nose is straight , you dont have to do anything , as the fracture will heal by itself. For the time being you can apply some ice on the swelling to reduce it.
You can also give your child paracetamol 250 mg for pain , please dont touch or move the fracture site as it may get dislocated.
dont worry , he will be fine!
Thanks
