Signs of a Broken Nose
5. Mucus Discharge
A force that is strong enough to break your nose may also have been able to cause damage to the sinuses, especially the ethmoid sinuses. These are located in the skull at the top of the nose and they are responsible for producing the mucus (snot) that your nose is lined with internally.
If these are damaged then it can allow mucus to leak out of the sinuses and into the nose. In turn, this mucus will make its way out of the nose in greater than usual quantities. Make sure to see a doctor if you are experiencing heavier than usual mucus discharge.
