My dog was jumping on the bed when I was leaning down and hit me and pushed up the end of my nose, this happened on Sat March 14th, I finally went to the doctor on Wed, and she said I have a deviated septum on the right side and it is pretty swollen. I have a horrible head ache, and now I have a pretty dry cough, fever of 100.1, and clear almost water liquid coming out of my nose constantly. I am on antibiotics, and Motrin 800mg three times a day, are these issues common with a broken nose?
