You have been evaluated in the Emergency Department today for your nose injury after a fall. Your nose does not appear to be fractured.

We recommend you take 600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours or tylenol 650mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. If needed, you can alternate these medications so that you take one medication every 3 hours. For instance, at noon take ibuprofen, then at 3pm take tylenol, then at 6pm take ibuprofen.

Please follow up with your primary care physician in 2-3 days. If your nose appears to be deformed in 3-4 days, you can find a plastic surgeon by calling (310) 825-5510 or an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician by calling 310-206-6688.

Return to the ER immediately for vomiting, confusion, worsening or uncontrolled pain, difficulty breathing, or for any other concerning symptoms.

Thank you for choosing us for your care.
