Brief Answer:
Take a CT PNS
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It seems like you have a broken nasal bone. Detailed evaluation is needed and we have to fix it I’m case the fragments are displaced.
Get an X-ray and CT PNS for assessment and look for any associated injuries. An ENT opinion is necessary to decide whether surgical correction is needed or not.
As of now start a shot course of antibiotics to prevent infection. Take antihistamines like Levocetirizine and instill nasal decongestants also.
Wishing you good health.
