Stridor is a sign of airway obstruction and requires immediate intervention.Ecchymosis,or bruising,behind the ear is called "battle sign" and indicates basilar skull fracture.
Nasal stuffiness,edema of the cheek or chin,and eye pain do not interfere with respirations or neurologic function,and therefore are not priorities for immediate intervention.
