Hit in nose 8 weeks and 2 days post septoplasty. No bleeding. Could this have caused damage?

Question

Hi doctor, thank you for your time. I had septoplasty and outfracture of inferior turbinates 8 weeks, 2 days ago. I saw my consultant 2 days ago, where i was told its healing nice, septum is straight but may have blockage of sinuses. So currently using nasonex once a day. My question is, whilst changing my little boy tonight, he flapped his arms back an hit me straight in the nose, sounded like a clicking sound, didnt really hurt an was no bleeding....just paranoia. Would this have done damage

Hello, thank you for your question adn provided information. It is very important to protect nose from every kind of external factors especially during healing process. Even if you had not feel any pain you need to follow it up and consult with your Doctor  and be more carefull as any trauma might cause complications.Best Regards,
