I accidentally hit, more like a light tap (no pain was felt, just the sensation of something touching my skin) while drinking from a glass cup. I dont see any damage, could there be damage done from this?

Thanks for your question.  Early in the healing process, the entire nose is swollen.  As you recover, the swelling will reduce but at different rates. Fortunately, the bulk of the swelling will be gone in a couple months. The nasal tip is always the last area for swelling to...
