Is Nose Broken If It Is Painful To Touch Swollen Area?

Yesterday I got punched in the face and now it's swollen on one side and is a little tender when I touch it and the side that is swollen I can still breath out of my nostril but it feels a little blocked. Everything else is fine my nose looks normal besides the swelling I have no pain unless u push on the swelling I don't have bruieses. Is it broken or just swollen

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

unless it is swollen and painful i dont think it is broken but sometimes minor fissures happen to nasal bone do i suggest Xray , CT to exclude any possible fissures for the risk of commplications which i dont think you will have in your case .
