Could my Nose Be Broken?

October 8, 2013
Asked By:Lolad1

Yesterday my 6 year old threw his head back into my nose. I immediately heard a crack and it bled (not a lot, but a few tissues worth). My nose swelled , the whole surrounding area around my nose swelled and eyes blackened. My upper 2 front teeth hurt (but are not loose). My nose looks normal shape besides the swelling. Today my eyes are more blackened, nose still swollen and hurts to touch, area below nose hurts and gums above front teeth are sore. Breathing through nose seems normal.
