hi. I got slapped/hit 10 days ago on my nose . it bled for 10 minutes.my nose was swollen for 3-5 days quite prominently. maybe there is little swelling left on side of brdige of nose. i have a been to ENT specialits and head and neck surgoeon, they said everything is fine. but im experiecing some nasal congestion and when i had slight cold it becomes little difficult to breath from nose properly. i wanted to ask, is swelling has gone down why im still getting some nasal congestion. it gets better after taking decongetsant spray.is this permenant and what is the cause of it?and how much time would it take? if the 2 doctors said its okay,so should i worry about anything they missed maybe.please guide me doctor. i will be very grateful.

Hello

Thanks for writing to H.C.M. for your query.

I have gone through your query regarding swelling on your nose even after 10 days of injury by slapped hit. You still feel difficulty in breathing which gets temporarly relieved by decongestant.

You have already been examined by two doctors and they found everything O.K. therefore chances are more in favour of only inflammtory swelling. but it will be better to do X-Ray nasal bones just to rule out minor or green stick fracture of nasal bones, because in fracture swelling usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to become normal.

Regards.
