Suggest Treatment For Swollen, Bruised And Painful Nose
It seems as if I have broken my nose, but have no idea how I did it, other than when washing my face and felt my nose go click. That was on Thursday, since then the bridge of my nose is swollen and bruised and is very very painful. The pain seems worse not better - what do I do now,

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Swelling, bruising and pain on bridge of nose is suggestive of trauma to the nasal bridge.
Is there history of trauma to the nasal bridge?
You need to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and prompt treatment.
Injury to the nasal cartilages can lead to damage and resorption of the cartilages.
Thus, it is important to treatment the condition as early as possible.
Thanks and take care
