What Causes Swelling And Soreness In Roof Of Mouth After Nose Injury?
Fractured my nose 5 days ago... Walkin cooler door hit me right on the bridge of my nose. Had major swelling although no bleeding. The next day went to the dr. Did not have a ct or X-ray done. The roof of my mouth started hurting the same day, now after swelling has gone down on my nose...the roof of my mouth is still sore and swollen...i also have redish purple marks and lines (on the roof of my mouth) directly below my nose where the blow occurred. Could I have broken the palate of my mouth? Or is this just blood and swelling?

Its must to rule out palatal injury.
Initially swelling could have made that injury in noticed.
Please consult a oro maxillo facial surgeon
