Fracture is very troublesome for both adults and babies. Babies are curious about everything when they are young, but their walking is not yet stable, so they basically need parents to take care of them all the time. But babies are often prone to bumps, sometimes directly hitting their nose and mouth, which can easily lead to nose fractures. Will it hurt to pinch a baby's nose fracture?
Firstly, many nasal fractures can cause tearing of the nasal mucosa or nosebleeds. After a nasal fracture, the pain is not severe, but there will be obvious pain when pressing the fracture site. After a nasal fracture, bruising may occur due to bleeding from tissues near the nose seeping into the eyelids and submucosa. If a baby's nose is broken and pinched, it may cause pain and crying.
Secondly, after a baby's nose fracture, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and gently apply an ice pack to the nose, but try to avoid using excessive force. If there is connective tissue nosebleeds, gently pinch the sides of the nose and lower your head to prevent the nosebleeds from flowing back into the throat and causing suffocation. For simple fractures without nasal displacement, if the shape of the nasal cavity and nasal breathing are not affected, it can be allowed to heal naturally. After the local soft tissue swelling subsides, the displacement and fracture of the nasal bone should be reduced.
Finally, if the baby's nose is fractured and treated in a timely manner, it may leave sequelae that affect the baby's external image. At the same time, during the process of going to the hospital, the baby's nose must not be pressed. Nose fractures are usually treated in hospitals using a reduction procedure, which only requires placing a reduction device into the nose without surgery and is not expensive. After resetting, it usually takes 1-2 months to recover. It is also important to avoid touching the nose and pay special attention when washing the face.
