Hello,
You have mentioned when you had this trauma.
Now you have symptoms---
you should get done a CT scan of Face with 3 D reconstruction if its a fresh injury
But if its an old injury then you need to get done CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses
The scan is required to see for the bony injury and to see for any tissue swelling
You will require antibiotics
In doubt do reply
