During gym i broke my nose. It was bleeding severly, so i had to go to the emergency room. It is all swollen now and and under my eye. I also have a black eye. I've been icing it, but i want the swelling to go down quickly. What is the best thing to do? If i just have to wait, how long is it likely to take?

Ice & Time......Not much more you can do....Maybe some makeup??? When I broke my nose it took about a week before all the swelling went away and 2 -3 weeks before the blackeyes are gone.....goodluck!

I have never broken my nose but ex-boyfriend broke his playing baseball it took him about 5 or 6 days for the swelling to go down. I have heard usually if you lay down a lot and keep icing the swelling goes down fast.

Plan on having severe swelling for about 3-4 days, and then it tapers off over the next week. There not much else you can do besides ice and ibuprofen to reduce the swelling.

The swelling will be drastically reduced in a few days, be careful not to ice it too much or you will irritate it and can cause furthur damage to your skin.

Yes, however it is not going. It takes a few drive to wreck a bone and the tissues within your nostril are very tender, so any drive fine adequate to wreck the bone might definitely intent harm to the tissues within the nostril inflicting them to bleed.
