A recent break can often be set at A&E, but a nose damaged or flattened by an old injury will need to be repaired surgically with a rhinoplasty.

In the UK, rhinoplasties are only offered on the NHS if there's a functional repair to be made; i.e. if the break has impaired your breathing, in which case you may need a septorhinoplasty. If it's purely cosmetic you will have to go private and expect to pay around £5-8,000.

Severe swelling can inhibit diagnosis and treatment. Mild trauma to the nose can sometimes heal without the person being aware of the fracture unless there is obvious deformity. The nose will be tender for at least three weeks.

The best way would be to go to the doctor and get some antibiotics. Depending on how severe it is, it may heal over time.
