Signs and symptoms of a broken nose include:
•Pain or tenderness, especially when touching your nose
•Swelling of your nose and surrounding areas
•Bleeding from your nose
•Bruising around your nose or eyes
•Crooked or misshapen nose
Seek emergency medical attention if you experience a nose injury accompanied by:
•A head or neck injury, which may be marked by severe headache, neck pain, vomiting or loss of consciousness
•Difficulty breathing
•Bleeding you can't stop
•A noticeable change in the shape of your nose that isn't related to swelling, such as a crooked or twisted appearance
•Clear, watery fluid draining from your nose
Common causes of a broken nose include:
•Injury from contact sports, such as football or hockey
•Physical fights
•Motor vehicle accidents
•Falls
A broken nose can even be caused by walking into a fixed object, such as a door or wall, or by rough, wrestling-type play.
Any activity that increases your risk of injuries to the face can increase your risk of a broken nose. Such activities may include:
•Playing contact sports, such as football and hockey, especially without a helmet that has a face mask
•Engaging in a physical fight
•Riding a bicycle
•Lifting weights, especially if you don't use a spotter
•Riding in a motor vehicle, especially without a seat belt
Complications or injuries related to a broken nose may include:
•Deviated septum. A nose fracture may cause a deviated septum. This condition occurs when the thin wall dividing the two sides of your nose (nasal septum) is displaced, narrowing your nasal passage. Medications, such as decongestants and antihistamines, can help you manage a deviated septum. Surgery is required to correct the condition.
•Collection of blood. Sometimes, pools of clotted blood form in a broken nose, creating a condition called a septal hematoma. A septal hematoma can block one or both nostrils. It requires prompt surgical drainage to prevent cartilage damage.
•Cartilage fracture. If your fracture is due to a forceful blow, such as from an automobile accident, you also may experience a cartilage fracture. If your injury is severe enough to warrant surgical treatment, the surgeon should address both your bone and cartilage injuries.
You can help prevent a nose fracture with these guidelines:
•Wear your seat belt when traveling in a motorized vehicle, and keep children restrained in age-appropriate child safety seats.
•Wear the recommended safety equipment, such as a helmet with a face mask, when playing hockey, football or other contact sports.
•Wear a helmet during bicycle or motorcycle rides.
