A member asked:

Lo ran nose 1st into door knob.bled from nostril for a min. then stopped.its slightly puffy on one side and bruised on bridge.breathing clear. broken?

Maybe: Only way to find out if it is broken is with an x-ray. If it is broken and non-displaced the fracture will heal itself. If just swelling that will resolve itself also. But if broken and displaced you will have two choices leave it alone and live with a crooked nose or have it bone set for a straighter nose.
