How long until bump on nose bridge will go away? (Photo)

December 30, 2015
Asked By:goyk00 in Omaha, NE

I got punched on my nose bridge a little more than a month ago on 11/27/15. I was wondering if my bump will go down any more. When I got hit, it only hurt for millisecond and then there was a mild pain for half an hour. No headache or blood. I don't think I broke my nose and when I touch it it doesn't hurt. I really want it to go all the way down. It looks bigger or smaller depending on the angle. My mom says it will go down with time. Will massaging the nose also help? Thanks in advance.
