Arnica should not be taken internally because of its toxicity. You can apply an arnica cream to the unbroken skin around the area after surgery. This will also help with pain and swelling.

How do i prevent nose sores?
* If it's swollen from trauma -- i.e. being whacked in the nose -- ice is your best bet. You can consider Non Steroidal Anti-Inflamatory Drugs -- like aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofin as well. There really isn't a heck of a lot else you can do. * If you think the nose is broken, see a doc. If it was broken and resets in the wrong position, you can have breathing and appearance problems later. DON'T try to set a broken nose yourself.* Arnica (homeopathic remedy) taken orally or Arnica cream applied locally (to the nose area) is excellent for reducing swelling and bruising after an injury or surgical procedure (anywhere on the body). Arnica works equally well for animals. Arnica can be purchased from any good health store. It works so well that in the UK and India (for example) many surgeons give Arnica before and after surgery.
