About a month ago, I fell and hit my nose. The next day it was very swollen, but definately not broken. So I iced it and the swelling went down after about a week. But now I am left with what seems to be a build up of cartilage on the inside of one nostril. Will this eventually go away on its own or should I seek professial advice? The bump is not that large but it somewhat makes my nose look uneven.
Answer:You need to go to the DR. OFFICE, to have you're nose reset. It will be painful, but in the long run, you're nose will return to normal in just a few weeks after it is set back in place. My mother broke her's & thats what the DR. done to fix it the right way.
If it hurts, use ice
if it feels numb, try going to a family doctor
