Nasal Fracture Symptoms

With a broken nose, you have the choice to fix it or leave it alone. When you make this decision, it’s important to consider two things – how it looks and how it works. If you’re experiencing headaches, breathing problems, or drainage (following a broken nose), you should consider having your nose straightened. If you’re experiencing similar issues from a recent nasal valve collapse, it’s important to see a doctor asap. At Advanced ENT & Allergy Center, we can fix your broken nose, whether your injury happened today or 50 years ago.

Immediate symptoms of a broken nose:

• Pain or tenderness
• Swelling
• Bleeding
• Bruising around the nose or eyes
• Crooked or misshapen nose
• Difficulty breathing through your nose
• Runny nose

You can also experience ongoing symptoms from a broken nose that you chose not to fix at the time. These include:

• Persistent headaches
• Difficulty breathing through your nose
• Postnasal drip and nasal drainage

Alleviate Symptoms and Look Like New

If you think your nose is broken, or you are experiencing ongoing symptoms from a previous break, we offer several treatment options. First, we’ll do a total examination of the nose and sinuses, either in person or through a telehealth appointment, to determine the cause of your symptoms and offer the best options. Our treatments include:

1. Medication: Some broken noses just require rest, ice, and medication to alleviate symptoms.
2. Septoplasty Surgery: A surgical procedure that straightens the septum from the inside to improve breathing, drainage, and headaches.
3. Nose surgery: A surgical procedure that straightens the bones on the outside to get the results you want.
