Contact with a fixed object, such as a door or wall can cause a break. Contact sports (like hockey, wrestling, basketball and football) and motor vehicle accidents are common causes of a broken nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Symptoms of a Nasal Fracture? &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pain when touched, swelling, an obsvious curve or dent in the nose, and bleeding from the nose are common symptoms of a nasal fracture.&nbsp; If you have a nose injury accompanied by difficulty breathing, bleeding and a noticeable change in the shape of your nose, you should seek medical attention as it is probably broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To confirm a nasal fracture, your doctor will perform a physical exam. Topical anesthetics may be applied before the physical exam to control the pain. An imaging test is usually unnecessary, but if other injuries are present a CT scan may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is a Nasal Fracture Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment for a nasal fracture depends on the severity. A minor fracture that has not changed the shape of your nose may not require treatment at all. Larger breaks will require your doctor to manually realign your nose.&nbsp; This procedure is often performed in the office with topical and\/or injected anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For severe breaks a surgery called rhinoplasty may be needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Causes a Nasal Fracture?
