Answer #2

I suggest getting it checked out. Swelling is not a good sign (it’s a good indication that it is fractured). Also if it makes any type of sound, just rather get it checked out by a doctor.

In any case symptoms of a nose fracture include:

  • Lingering pain after your nose was impacted. (the pain can be on the bridge of your nose or deeper inside). The pain can be dull or sharp, piercing.

  • Nosebleeds are a common symptom of a nose fracture.

  • If your nose is swollen or discoloured, then it is almost definitely swollen. (This can sometimes be accompanied by what is called raccoon eyes - bruising of your eyes)

  • Difficulty breathing through your nose (if you have this symptom get it checked out ASAP -)

  • Crooked or misshapen nose
