Yesterday I got hit quite hard in the face on the bridge of my nose with an umbrella handle (solid) directly. It instantly swelled up and was really painful, my eyes watered. Today it is bruised (still swollen) but only where I got hit not under my eyes. When I press on either side of the bridge it hurts and when I press where I got hit. It didn't bleed at all. After a while today I've started to get headaches and slight migraines by my left eye and above. Is there any damage ??

Answer: Difficult to tell on your description If the nose is not deviated, and your breathing is unchanges, probably it is not a major injury. It is close to impossible to know if there is a fracture unless you get a CT or MRI. Give it some time, unless you have one of the symptoms above, then I would go see a specialist right away.

Answer: Fractured Nose after Trauma and How to Handle That? Sorry for your trauma. There is a probability that your nasal bridge (bones and cartilages on top of your nose) may have been broken and/or have a greenstick fracture (not displaced). The best way to manage this would be to have a full examination in combination with a direct nasal x-ray or a CT-scan if required. If displaced you will need immediate reduction, if not cold treatment and elevation of your head would be enough. Nevertheless, deformities may occur with time which may require a rhinoplasty to correct for aesthetic purposes.
