So I got kicked in the nose really hard on accident. It hurt when I touched certain parts of my nose. I was told to wait until the next day to see if it gets better. It just feels the same as yesterday!! Mostly my rights side and slightly pain on the bridge. It’s not bruised and it is not crooked. Help? (It also looks bigger)

Answer: Is my nose broken? Hi Jannahz123, thanks for your question! First of all, Im sorry that you injured your nose. If you are still in pain and are concerned about the possibility of a fracture, l recommend that you see a doctor for a consultation. You may need an xray to rule out a broken nasal bone. The lack of swelling and deformity is a promising sign but you can't be sure without imaging of the area. Best of luck!

Answer: Is my nose broken If you have enough concern to post on this forum, than you have enough concern to seek out a medical evaluation! Nothing substitutes for a thoughtful internal and external exam, and if necessary, x-rays or scans to assess your nasal anatomy. You can find out definitively if you have a fracture or other injury that may require treatment, and some kinds of injuries would be important to have prompt diagnosis (for example, septal hematoma or displaced fracture). Consider visiting your local ER today. Best of luck.

Answer: Is my nose broken?? Trauma to the nose with continued pain and swelling could be an indication of damage to the nasal bones or cartilage. Not being bruised or crooked is definitely a good sign, but there is no way to know for sure that there is not an injury to internal structures without a proper examination. I would recommend an in-person examination so that a surgeon can thoroughly examine the inside and outside of your nose from different angles, feel the tissues, and make more specific recommendations. Best of luck.

Answer: Is my nose broken? Trauma to the nose can cause a variety of issues such as a non-displaced nasal fracture, a displaced nasal fracture, a deviated septum, and a dislocation of the upper lateral cartilages off the nasal bones. An x-ray will be required to make a determination about a nasal fracture. In addition, an internal and external examination is required to make a determination about whether or not the nasal bones need to be reset surgically.
