Fell face 1st on tile floor. Nose hurts a lot - no blood/swelling. Could it be broken?

Asked By:simonluke26 in Pinellas Park, FL

If it is possible to break without bleeding or swelling, would a trip to the Drs do anything, or will they just tell me to take Tylenol for the pain? Fell because I fainted which was due to taking prednisone (for a foot injury) twenty minutes before. 12mg of that mixed with a severe head cold equals major dizzy fainting spells. I was only out for perhaps a minute, but when I woke up I was face first on the floor and had wet myself, so I was OUT! And didn't brace the impact at all.
