What do I do if the splint my ENT put on my nose after resetting it comes off? Should I put it back on or is it fine?

Asked By:tweingarten211 in South Salem, NY

After breaking my nose, my ENT reset it and put a splint on it last Tuesday. He wanted me to leave it on for 1 week until I see him again. However, it fell off today. I'm not positive how it was placed on my nose. Should I try to place it back on or leave it alone and just be careful?
