Can Cough With Congestion Be Due To Broken Nose?
I fainted 2 days ago and landed on my face....I have a broken nose on the right side. I went to the emergency room and they told me they dont do anything until the swelling goes down somewhat. But when I woke up this morning Ive developed a cough with some congestion. Could this be from my broken nose?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The inflammation due to the broken nose can cause congestion of the nasal passages.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses at the nasal area.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
