Nose Injury After Impact: When to See a Doctor and How Long Congestion Will Last.

Dr. Jeff Foster is the new resident doctor for The Sun on Sunday and is always ready to help you. Dr. Jeff, 43, splits his time between working as a general practitioner in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, and running his clinic, H3 Health, which is the first of its kind in the UK focusing on hormonal issues in both men and women. For more information visit h3health.co.uk or email [email protected]. While playing football, I had a head collision four weeks ago. 'His head hit me in the nose, and immediately it started bleeding, but my nose doesn't look broken.' 'My nose suddenly gets blocked. When I blow my nose, it bleeds and feels blocked.' 'Will it heal on its own, or do I need to see a doctor?' asks Liam Smith from Newcastle upon Tyne. Doctor's response: a nose injury can be very painful and may require a doctor's attention, especially if the bleeding does not stop, or there are signs of deformity or difficulty breathing.
