10 Broken Nose Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Crooked Appearance
If your nose has a crooked appearance after a fall, an accident, or a fight, it’s almost certain that you have a nasal fracture. The extent of deformity may indicate how bad the fracture is. A deformed nose is usually the result of a fracture in the bridge of the nose, although other tissues like cartilage may also be affected.
The bend may affect movement of air through the nostrils, making it hard to breathe through the nose. This is more likely to happen if the cartilage separating the two nostrils is injured and swollen thereby constricting the nostrils. Other related broken nose symptoms include pain and tenderness to the touch.
