Which Specialist Should Be Consulted For Nose Injury?

I TRIPPED AND FELL INTO A COATRACK, BLOOD WAS COMING OUT OF MY NOSE. MY FOREHEAD HAD A GOOSE EGG ON IT, BUT I WAS CONCERNED IF I BROKE MY NOSE. WENT TO ER AND WAS TOLD THEY WON'T TAKE AN XRAY, BECAUSE XRAYS DONT SHOW BROKEN NOSE BONES. THEY SAID I SHOULD SEE AND ENT OR PLASTIC SURGEON FOR AN EXAM. WHO CAN I GOOD TO THAT HAS A GOOD RECORD FOR RHINOPLASTY IN BOWLING, OH . SECOND CHOICE TOLEDO, OH. WHICHEVER IS BETTER. I JUST WANT AN EXRAY FOR STARTERS FOR SOMEONE TO LEVEL WITH ME AND TELL ME IF IT'S BROKE AND GOING TO BE CROOKED. THANKS ELISE

Hi
First thing you should do is to have an x ray.You can get information of nasal bone damage from X ray.But if there is any further damage suspection after general examination and x ray then you can go for a CT or MRI.You can better consult an ENT specialist.If no fracture it can be soft tissue damage which will heal within some days. NSAID group drugs will gives you relief of pain and swelling.Ice pack application helps you to relieve your swelling in that case also.Let me know if you have any further query.
thanks
