10 Broken Nose Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
A broken nose, also called a nasal fracture, occurs in the bones forming the bridge or the cartilage separating the left and right nostrils. It is the most common facial fracture due to the location of the nose and the way it sticks out from the face.
Causes of nasal fractures include falls, running into a shutting door, car accidents, contact sports like football and boxing, and physical fights. A broken nose may be minor or serious. A minor nasal fracture can heal without treatment. However, a serious nasal fracture requires medical treatment, which may include surgery.
If you have a nose injury and are worried it could be broken, consult a doctor. Below are the 10 most common broken nose symptoms.
