Is it bad that the tip of my nose is numb and sometimes tingly after hard hit to nose? (Photos)

Asked By:KateGray in Jamaica, NY

my dogs head hit my nose. My boyfriend said he heard a cracking/ popping noise. It immediately started bleeding horribly so I went to the er. The X-ray said it's not displaced but it was reccomended that I see and ENT when the swelling goes down, I have an appointment on Monday. I am worried because 6 years ago I had septo/rhinoplasty and I believe they put fake cartilage in my nose to reinforce its structure and after being hit the tip of my nose is numb. How bad of a situation am I looking at?
