Did A Blow To My Face Break My Nose?

A little kid slammed into my nose. It was very painful and smelt blood but there was no bleeding, now 2 days later, its still painful when touched and its harder to breathe through my nose. Also, my family said I have started to snore when I have always been a silent sleeper. Is it possible to have cracked my nose and not have broken it?

You have about 1-2 weeks to get it fixed before the surgery becomes difficult. If they are still in the right place it will still take about 6... more
