He or she will press\non the sides of your nose and look inside your nostrils for signs of broken\nbones. Topical anesthetics may be applied before the physical exam to control\nthe pain. An imaging test is usually unnecessary, but based on the severity of\nyour injury a CT scan may be required if a physical exam is too painful to be\nperformed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is a Nasal Fracture Treated? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oregonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ThinkstockPhotos-498061912-2048x1367.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-721\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oregonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ThinkstockPhotos-498061912.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/oregonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ThinkstockPhotos-498061912-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment\nfor a nasal fracture depends on the severity. A minor fracture that has not\nchanged the shape of your nose may not require medical attention at all and\nwill heal on its own. Larger breaks will require your doctor to manually\nrealign your nose.&nbsp; This procedure is\nperformed with injected anesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A nasal\nspeculum is inserted into the nostrils and with the help of other specialty\ninstruments your broken nose and cartilage are put back into place.&nbsp; An internal and external splint will be\nattached to help keep your nose in place while the bone heals.&nbsp; For severe breaks surgery may be needed.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Oregon Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Center<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+15417797331\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(541) 779-7331<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Causes a Nasal Fracture?
