Nose makes noise 17 years after break - advice?

LexG8Jun 5, 2022
I fractured my nose 17 years ago and ever since then I had this little cracking noise sometimes when i moved my nose. Over the last year, the cracking has gotten much worse, every time i touch or move my nose I hear a pop of a crack. I have not injured my nose again but I did get a nostril piercing, which is a kind of injury i suppose. IEven though i experience no pain, should i see an ENT ? Could my nose piercing have caused problems because of my history with fracture? Thank you!
