So I was laying and reading a book on my iPad when I accidentally moved and the iPad fell on my nose. It was painful but the pain was gone within few moments. Now (7 days after the accident) that side of my nose is a little bit more swollen than the other one and I can clearly see the difference, but it doesn't hurt. Should I be worried???? Please answer, thanks!!
