I think my nose is broken(do I need to see a doctor?)

**carisal** · 04-14-2009, 01:14:14 AM

So I was asleep and DD was wide open, DH was in the bed with her, and me. and DD decided she suddenly wanted to lay down, and her head hit my nose - really hard.

It isn't crooked, or swollen(yet anyway),and it doesnt hurt(now) if I don't touch it...
but if i run my two fingers down the bridge of my nose there is a cracking/popping sound.

so my question is... - do i need to see a doctor, or is this something to let heal on it's own?

I suggest a doctor. It may need to be reset. If it does need resetting and you let it go, you may have breathing issues the rest of your life. My DH is a prime example. Mine was reset and I have no problems.

Yes I would see a doctor. I agree with PP and getting it reset would help. Good Luck!

I am sorry this happened to you. I will be praying for you.

Thanks to all of you -

next question:
Can a G.P. do the resetting or do I need to see another type of doctor?

It is still making that popping noise so I'm fairly sure something isn't right...

Yes, a GP should be able to reset your nose if necessary.

my nose makes a popping when I pull it back and forth...you sure this isn't just the cartilage sliding over the bone (or whatever the flexible end is made of...)? or is this a different popping?

well I can actually feel something moving on one side and theres a slight pop/crack sound... and I'm not trying to wiggle it back and forth, just gently running two fingers down the bridge :shrug7: How do you even tell if a nose is really broken anyways?

your mother says to get to the doctor asap and pm me to let me know what he says. I am sending you a phone so I can talk to you.
Get to the doctor first thing tomorrow.
