Fix it: Broken nose is typically a "clinical" diagnosis, i e based on appearance and feel of the nose. Get checked by anent or plastic surgeon. Reasons to fix include cosmetic issues and nasal airway blockage. Repair should be performed before bones set into position, within 2 weeks or so. If things seem ok after swelling goes down (a few days after injury), repair is not needed- but avoid further injury!
