Can My Nose Be Damaged After Being Injured By Glasses?

I got headbutted by my son yesterday and I wear glasses. he hit me right where the nose piece goes and it hurt and my eyes automatically watered. The pain stopped but now one side of my nose feels plugged or stuffedup. Even though theres no pain could there be damage?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury while wearing glasses and following the injury you are having pain in the side of the nose. This can be because of impact of the nose piece over the nose.
If the injury is very serious it can lead to damage to the nose or nasal bone.
Hence this requires evaluation by doctor or preferably by a ENT doctor and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
