Hello,
You need to immediately visit an ENT for a thorough evaluation. Trauma like this could lead to a condition called CSF rhinorrhea - I am not trying to scare you, but this should be ruled out. In case of neglecting this condition, infection could travel upwards from the nose to the region of the brain; so please visit as this cannot be assessed and treated by suggestion through an online mechanism.
