Feeling Clumsy And Mild Headache Due To Bruised Nose
I'm 20 and relatively healthy. Being occasionally clumsy (stubbing my toe or not moving my limbs out of the way in time before closing the door sort of clumsy) i somehow managed to slam a fridge door onto the side of my nose.
I hit it rather hard but was shocked to see i had given myself a blood nose in the process.
Ever since this incident about 5 days ago i've had mild headaches that get worse into the day.
Finally it's become so bad that i've resorted to taking panadol which has only eased the pain, there was also only very minimal bruising making it look like i had not slept well in a few days - i doubt it's broken or fractured so is this normal effects after bumping my nose?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As the injury to your nose caused bleeding this can be a fracture or some severe internal injury which is showing a sign in form of a headache (remember headaches are signs of an underlying disease and not an disease in itself). So you need to show a specialist, a GP or an ENT who might recommend you a x-ray. Meanwhile apply ice over the area to sooth the pain.
Hope you find this helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jenis Bhalavat
