A broken nose, or a nose fracture, is a break or crack in a bone in your nose — often the bone over the bridge of your nose due to a sudden impact to the nose or face.
Common Symptoms
- Severe pain with or without swelling.
- Nosebleed or clear watery mucus discharge.
- Nose may look crooked or changed shape
- Difficulty breathing through – may feel blocked
- A crunching or crackling sound upon touch
- Tenderness, especially when touching your nose
- May have a cut on the bridge of the nose.
- Swelling in the surrounding areas
- Bruising around your nose or eyes (black eyes).
- Sometimes severe headache, neck pain, vomiting or loss of consciousness
Common Causes or Risk factors
- Falls e.g., off a bike or walking into a wall or fixed object
- Contact sports: Such as basketball, hockey and kickboxing without a helmet that has a face mask.
- Wrestling-type play.
- Physical fights
- Motor vehicle accidents especially without a seat belt
- Riding a bicycle while no helmet on
Further Complications
- DNS – Deviated nasal septum. A condition occurs when the thin wall dividing the two sides of your nose (nasal septum) is displaced, narrowing your nasal passage.
- Cartilage fracture, due to a forceful blow, such as from an automobile accident, you also may experience a cartilage fracture.
- Neck injury. If a blow is strong enough to break your nose, it may also be strong enough to damage the bones in your neck.
- Blood clots or collection of blood creating a condition called a septal hematoma.
Prevention
- Wear a helmet during bicycle or motorcycle rides.
- Always wear your seat belt when traveling.
- Wear the recommended safety equipment, such as a helmet with a face mask, when playing hockey, football or other contact sports.
- Hold an ice pack (or bag of frozen peas) wrapped in a tea towel on your nose for up to 15 minutes, several times a day
- Treat nosebleeds by sitting or standing upright and leaning forward – if possible, pinch your nose above the nostrils for up to 15 minutes
- Keep your head upright when lying in bed by adding more pillows – this will help to reduce swelling
- Clean the wound and cover with a plaster or dressing
- Do not try to straighten your nose yourself if it’s changed shape!
- Avoid wearing glasses until the swelling has gone down
- Do not pick or blow your nose until it’s healed
- Do not engage in strenuous exercise or play sports until fully recovered.
