Should I see a physician for a possible fractured nose?

August 5, 2014
Asked By:Ashley3H12 in Dayton, OH

I was hit in the face at my nose two days ago. There was immediate bleeding mostly from the right side and a quarter size blood clot was pulled out from the right side. There was also immediate swelling. My nose doesn't look to be broken and is only sore in the middle. I get an occasional new brief migraine right above my nose self treated with Ibuprofen 400mg BID. I have no difficulty breathing. Should I see a physician?
