Is Pain On Bridge Of The Nose After An Injury,dangerous?

My son got hit hard by an elbow in the nose.. It did not bleed but it was instantly painful, throbs on bridge and a little swollen and numb for about 45 minutes. 2 hrs later it is painful to touch, stings to breathe deep, and he is nauseous. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

Severe injury to the nose is a serious problem. Kindly take him to an ENT doctor. Your son may have to be admitted for observation for a head injury.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
