I had a mild cold last week. At one point I sneezed and pinched my nose to "stop" it. There was no pain when this happened but I heard a weird "popping" sound. Since then, the lower bridge of my nose is in a great deal of pain, swollen and very tender to the touch. I have a bunch of broken capillaries now but no bruising discoloration. There is a slight bump too.

Is it possible that I broke my nose?

Now when I sneeze (no I don't block it anymore) my face feels like it is exploding w/ pain. I cannot even sleep on my stomach because it puts too much pressure on my nose. Even laughing and smiling hurts!
