I took a really bad hit to the nose in rugby and broke my nose, I can't breath through the right nostril. Any suggestions?

Asked By:Rugby player in Somerset, TX

I went to see my doctor about my nose because I couldn't breath through the right side because my carlidge is broke and i have a hard lump on the side of my nose. The doctor says since I play rugby there ain't no point getting it done because it will just brake again, he said once I finish playing rugby for life then it's sensible to get my nose done and get the hard lump taken out, but for now just put up with my Rigg nostril being blocked. Is he right ?
