Hello,

I can understand your concern. When a bone is fractured or cracked, it presents as swelling of the area. As your nose has suffered injury and a lump has formed at the place of injury, there is a very high chance that your nasal bone has fractured or cracked and it requires medical attention.

I would advise you to visit an ENT surgeon, orthopedic surgeon or an oral & maxillofacial surgeon for the examination of the injured site and further investigations such as x-ray, CT Scan etc. Treatment can be decided after the test results come.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
