What Causes Tenderness And Clicking Sound In Nose After An Injury?

Posted on Fri, 30 Jan 2015

Question: Hi, i hit the side of my nose and mouth in a surfing accident three weeks ago. There were no cuts and I didn't have a nosebleed. My nose has been tender ever since and makes a clicking sound when I press it. I have since been getting mild sinus-type/head cold headaches and tension across the bridge of my nose. My nose doesn't look deformed, but I am worried I have permanently I damaged it. I am female and 37 years old and otherwise in good health.

Brief Answer:
May be a nasal bone fracture

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering with nasal bone fracture.

To confirm the nasal bone fracture you have to go for X ray nasal bone.

Please upload the images of X ray nasal bone for further management or you can consult your ENT specialist with the images.

Thanks

Wish you good health
