Proving if an element of an ordered field has a square root and is not 0, then it has exactly two square roots, one positive and one negative

Assume $b$ is a square root of an element $n$, and let $a$ be an unknown element which is also a square root of $n$.

If $n$ has only one root, then $a = b$.

We have,

$a^2 - b^2 = n - n = 0$ so $(a + b)(a - b) = 0$

which implies

$a = b$ or $a = -b$

hence $a$ can take the value of $b$ and $-b$, however this contradicts our initial assumption of $n$ having one root, so it has at least two roots.

Since the field is ordered, we have $b ≠ -b$ so they are two different square roots of $n$. From the axiom of an ordered field, we have $b > 0$, $b < 0$ or $b = 0$. Now $b ≠ 0$ as if $b = 0$, then $b^2 = n = 0$, which is against our assumption that $n ≠ 0$. Hence $b > 0$ or $b < 0$, so $n$ has one positive and negative square root, which happen to be additive inverses of each other.

Assume on the other hand that n has three square roots, $a$, $b$ and $c$, where $a$ and $c$ are unknown elements, then

$a^2 = b^2 = c^2 = n$

$(a - b)(a + b) = 0$, $(b - c)(b + c) = 0$, $(a - c)(a + c) = 0$

so $a = b$ or $a = -b$, $b = c$ or $b = -c$, $a = c$ or $a = -c$

Now if $a = c$, we get

$c = b$ or $c = -b$

The same holds for $a = -c$

So we are left with exactly two square roots and not three, by which this argument can be extended if we assume any number of square roots above two.

Therefore if a non-zero element of an ordered field has a square root, then it must have two square roots where one is positive and one is negative.

Any feedback is welcomed!

You got the basic idea, but I would write it somewhat differently.
You started off by assuming $a$ and $b$ are square roots of an element $n$.
That's helpful to figure out that $b$ and $-b$ are both square roots of $n$, but not really part of the proof of the statement in the title. Also, when you said $b$ and $-b$ are two different square roots of $n$, you should have pointed out (as you did later) that holds if $b\ne0$.

To prove the statement in the title, let $n$ be a non-zero element of an ordered field, and assume $n$ has a square root, say $b$; i.e., there is an element $b$ of the ordered field such that $b^2=n$. Then $-b$ is also a square root of $n$, because $(-b)(-b)=b^2$ follows from the axioms of an ordered field. Furthermore, for an ordered field, $b>0$, $b=0$, or $b<0$. If $b=0$ then $b^2=0$, which contradicts the assumption $n\ne0$. If $b>0$ then $-b<0$, and if $b<0$ then $-b>0$. Thus, $n$ has two square roots, one positive and one negative.

It's not clear whether you need to prove $n$ has two square roots and not more, or just that $n$ has (at least) two square roots, but your approach for proving the former looks valid.
