How to Be Sure You Had a Broken Nose in the Past?

Kamaljit
Hi, I had an accident when I was around 11 years old, I fell face flat on the ground from about 6 feet in the air. Although that seems harsh, I attempted to break the fall by landing on my arms. As a result, I broke my arm (minor). My arm is fine, but I think my nose was affected more. I have trouble breathing and I developed a bump on my nose. My family has normal noses, but mine grew abnormally. At 21, I am very self-conscious about it. It never bled, but is there a chance it was broken?
