Asked By:Carlae96 in Sydney, AU

I was hit in the nose by my friend accidentally. (They went to hi5 another friend, I was sitting between them, the momentum from his hand meant that his hand smacked me right in the tip of my nose) It was harder than a tap, enough to make my stitches bleed (mind you my nose did get infected aroun 1.5 wks post op, I was on antibiotics but most the infection had cleared) It’s a bit swollen and hurt for a bit after, I’m concerned that I’ve damaged my nose I can still touch it with minimal pain
