Will The Bump Formed On Nose After Hitting Head Will Go Away Naturally?

Hi Dear doctors, I broke my nose 10 days ago hitting it aggressively against the head of another guy while playing basketball. After going to the Emergency Room and 2 different specialists, all of them said my nose will heal naturally. However, my concern is about the bump that formed. I had a natural bump on my nose but now it became much bigger and I am really worried about it. I´ve putting ice on it every single day since the accident, will eventually the new bump go away? Please, help!! Thanks a lot!!

HELLO AND WELCOME TO HCM.
U HAV ALREADY BEEN EXAMINED BY ENT SPECIALIST. THEY WOULD DEFINITELY HAV RULED OUT ANY UNDERLYING FRACTURE OF NASAL BONES. THIS SWEELING OR BUMP IS JUST DUE TO INJURY TO SOFT TISSUES OF UR NOSE. IT WILL SETTLE DOWN IN NEXT 4-5 DAYS TIME WITH ANALGESIC- ANTI-INFLAMMATORY TABLETS. NO NEED TO WORRY AT ALL ABOUT THE SECOND BUMP. IT WILL SUBSIDE IN DUE COURSE OF TIME.
