10 Broken Nose Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Nasal Obstruction
A broken nose can lead to nasal obstruction in addition to the other symptoms. This can make it difficult for you to breathe through the nose. It may also lead to, or increase, snoring.
Nasal blockage due to a broken nose usually occurs because the cartilage separating the two nostrils is broken or injured in a way that it occupies the otherwise open airways. Injury of the cartilage can also lead to bleeding, internal swelling, teary eyes, and increased mucus production. All these contribute to the material causing nasal blockage. In the case of this symptom, visit a doctor for specialized care.
