A member asked:
What are the clues of a damged or broken nose (greater alar) cartilage? will the pain hurt a lot and will we know? other clues? will it heal on it own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Broken nose: Noses break in the bone (the nose is only half bone), between the bone and cartilage n and rarely in the cartilage (it's the most pliable). Regardless of what breaks it's the deformity that is left when the swelling goes down that matters. Broken noses can be reset better on day 5 without the swelling you know where the pieces belong. If you cannot breathe even on one side get get checked now.
