What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Nose After An Injury?
Monday night I was riding in a car with a friend and they slammed on breaks and my face hit the dash board. My nose hurt really bad and got really big. Its been 2 days and still hurts and when i move alot or lean back it feels like alot of fluids run to my head and I get a bad headache. Is this normal after a nose injury or should I go to the hospital?

Hi You could have suffered any internal or bony injury Please go for a xray nasal bones to find out for any fractures, which maybe causing so much pain. If headache persists you can go for ct brain. Visit the doctor as well as an ent specialist Take care
