ICE ICE ICE!!!! Put an ice pack on your nose for twenty minutes every hour, take Ibuprofen or Aleve per package directions, but keep using the ice.

Wrap a bag of frozen peas in a towel and gently place this on your nose. The cold will help with the swelling and pain.

Ice and the passing of time will do the trick...and the knowedge that you may have a bit of a different 'look' after the swelling goeos down.... outch

Keep it cool with a pack of small frozen vegetables, peas, sweetcorn or buy one of those specially made malible medical ice packs that don't freeze (handy for any future accident). Ibuprofen will help take down the swelling as well as give pain medication. Thats about all you can do apart from don't sneeze or laugh (that really hurts).

To help with the pressure and clean out the blood on the inside, try a saline nasal rinse (not a spray.) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It soothes with warmth, it draws out the entire gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean, but without the eye stinging).

Buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot

You can do this as often as you like with no side effects.
