Three weeks ago, I fell and hit the bridge of my nose on a step. I had a small bruise where it was hit on the nasal bone and slight swelling. Once the swelling went down I noticed a bump where the bruise use to be. There was no bleeding and the only pain I felt was in the inside of my nose, under the bridge, on occasion but it wasn't that bad. The bump looks smaller than two weeks ago but is still the same size as last weekend. I have no idea if my nose was broken and I'm worried the bump is permanent.
