Yesterday my 6 year old threw his head back into my nose. I immediately heard a crack and it bled (not a lot, but a few tissues worth). My nose swelled , the whole surrounding area around my nose swelled and eyes blackened. My upper 2 front teeth hurt (but are not loose). My nose looks normal shape besides the swelling.
