What does a nasal fracture mean?

• Like the rest of the body, an accident or injury
  can cause a fracture in the nose, which is called
  a fracture of the nasal bone. Often, nasal
  fractures involve the bone situated above the
  nose. Let us know the symptoms and treatment of a
  fracture in the nose in this article.
• A nasal fracture means a crack or break in the
  cartilage connecting the nasal bone. A fracture
  in the nose can be caused by sports, fighting, a
  fall, or a car accident. When the nose is broken,
  there is swelling under the nose, eyes as well as
  pain. Your nose becomes crooked and you may have
  trouble breathing. Surgery is not always needed
  to treat a fracture in the nose.

Nasal fracture diagnosis

• After examining your symptoms of a nose fracture,
  the doctor will ask you how you got hurt and
  whether you've had a broken nose or serious
  injury before, have you ever had nose surgery,
  etc? This means he will take your detailed
  medical history.
• After this, the doctor examines your nose, in
  which the shape of the nose, the condition of the
  bones, tenderness, and deformity of the damaged
  part, the nasal screen test is done and examined.
  With the help of light and an instrument, the
  doctor examines the inside of your nose and
  checks if there are any blood clots, bruises,
  etc. In most cases, no further tests are needed
  for diagnosis. X-rays are not always necessary.
• If a fracture in the nose causes a deformity of
  the nose, obstruction of air passage, or symptoms
  that require a specialist, your doctor may refer
  you to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat
  specialist) or plastic surgeon. Specialist
  doctors do some tests before treatment.
