Hi, my 6 year old fell off his bicycle and needs a "reduction" on his nose (he fell on his nose..oy:(. Honestly, I still have to really understand what it is... but I need a good ENT in Yerushalaim who speaks English more or less and maybe even specializes in children's noses. I have Meuhedet.

Also if you have any other advice, I would like to hear it. I am relatively new here and trying to navigate the system.... Last week we went to Terem, had an x-ray and they found a " fracture" though they explained it as "a bone just needs to be put in place on the upper part of his nose"...ok. Anyway, then we went to Hadassa Ein Kerem and the ENT specialist saw his nose and told us to wait a week. My son refused to have ice on it for longer than a little bit, but the swelling went down anyway BH though it has been less than a week... Now it looks fine, but we still need to obviously see a doc and hopefully he won't need anything but a refua from Hshem... Smile

Still, the fracture is the fracture... it could not have disappeared b'derech teva... so.

thanks in advance for your answer/s!!

I can't help you Israel-wise but a closed reduction needs to be done within two weeks of the injury. Your best bet is an ENT/plastic surgeon but a good ENT will do too. Good luck!

Dr. Edry she is in the HarNof office a few times a week she speaks perfect English and is really amazing and knows her stuff. I have used her for a variety of ENT issues over the years (unfortunately) Call the HarNof clinic or Meuhedet directly and get an appt with her. She is probably in other places throughout the week as well. At HEK I would recommend for ENT or OF/OZEN DR. Menachem Gross. he is a fabulous surgeon. Unfortunately, I know my ENT's
