Should I See an ENT Doctor For A Broken Nose? And Can I Without a Referral from a Family Doctor?

June 7, 2011
Asked By:hayley in tdot. in Markham, ON

My nose recently changed shape (huge dorsal hump) in grade 9 after playing tons of sports and being hit in the face with volleyballs (spiked) and basketballs. Today, I feel as if i have trouble getting maximum airflow, especially when I sleep. However, i visited my family doctor and she said nothing is wrong with my nose. Despite this, while I was taking x-rays the x-ray doctor and many other people who have seen me think that I have broken it. In the x-ray the top nasal bone was also crooked.
