Did I mess up my lower lateral cartilage? Should I see an ENT?

Asked By:ggggggg1 in New York, NY

For years, I developed a very bad habit of pushing and popping the cartilage in my nose. And now I feel like they are completely divided. After leaving it for a week, the cartilage has still not gotten stronger and I can still move the lower lateral cartilage around in my nose, followed by a popping noise. Is it possible that I divided my lower lateral cartilage into two from messing with it?
