Question:
Eight days ago my best friend I were goofing around and he hit me in the nose really hard, and it hurt like crap, but I couldn't find any signs of fracture so I popped a couple ibuprofen and went on my way. Today, I noticed that the side that didn't get hit has a small reddened area on the upper bridge, and upon running my finger down it, I found that it is, in fact, protruding a bit, and is precisely opposite the tenderest part of my nose on the side that got hit. Basically, I know it's broken now.
Anyhoo, my dad said that a broken nose shouldn't hurt this long, and that it's probably broken in two places. My mom said that since I waited so long there's nothing they can do for me if I go to a doctor. What do you think? (Please, only serious responses.)
Answers:
I broke mine before, if you go to the doctor they can rebreak it and make it straight again, if you don't then it will not be the same again. If you get it fixed it will hurt for about 4 days. if you leave it, it will heal by itself, but that takes a long time and you will be in pain for about 2 weeks
Go see the doc. The can re-fracture it after killing the pain, then reset.
You could go through a life of nasal breathing problems if you shine this on.
