Moderate blood loss when it first happened from nosebleed, my shirt was soaked in blood, I've woken up the past nights with my nose clogged with dried blood, when I blow my nose blood comes out and I just stuck a Kleenex in it (3 days after accident) and there was fresh blood on it. No immediate recognition of a crooked nose but it is still swollen.

Answer: Nasal trauma and broken nose It is important to be evaluated by a ENT/ facial plastic surgeon to determine and document any nasal/septal fracture. It's also important to make sure that there is no septal hematoma present, so it is a good idea to be evaluated in person. Physical exam and x-rays will also will also help with the documentation process. Even though the external portion of the nose maybe straight, the septum could have become deviated to the trauma. If the noses been fractured and displaced, then it may require surgery to straighten it. Please see the link below for examples of fractured noses we have repaired in our practice

Answer: Evaluation of your nose is important after trauma You should see a physician to determine if immediate treatment is required. Intranasal bleeding is a sign of injury to structures inside your nose. Examination of your nose will help to reveal the source of the bleeding and also determine whether the septum is deviated. Iced compresses to the nose may help to dissipate some of the external swelling. Once less swollen, you'll be able to see if your nose is crooked or not. Early nasal fractures can be "reset" within a few weeks of the initial injury. Thanks for your question. Best wishes.
