What Causes Bleeding And Swelling In Nose After Injury?
I slipped on the hardwood floor last night and fell face first on the hardwood. Wasn t able to brace my fall because I was trying not to hit the door facing and instead hit the floor. I hit straight on my nose. It popped several times and bled. Of course it s sore today but I have a major headache. There is some swelling and it feels a bit crooked. Wondering if it could be broken? Or is a headache normal? It happened almost 24 hours ago

Hello
The headache is not normal and if you feel that the nose is crooked , then it is likely that your nasal bone is fractured. Please meet your ent doctor , he will examine and confirm this. If the nose is crooked , then a small surgery can correct it!!
Take care!
