Can you blow your nose when it’s broken?

Have you ever experienced a broken nose and wondered whether blowing your nose is still possible? Or maybe, you just like asking absurd questions to test the limits of human biology. Either way, this article will explore the possibility of blowing one’s nose while suffering from a broken schnoz.

What happens when you break your nose?

Before we dive into the intricate details of booger expulsion with nasal fractures, let’s first understand what goes on inside our noses when they are damaged. The human nose has three main parts; bones, cartilage, and tissue. The bony structure includes various small bones that make up the bridge or septum separating both nostrils. Cartilage connects these bone structures together giving them their shape and providing extra support for nasal breathing (if only Hollywood celebrities could relate) . Injuries to any of these three could result in pain mobility issues around the face region.

A fracture occurs if there’s an injury to one or more areas within these categories resulting in swelling or inflammation making it pretty problematic for most people as sleep quality may fall off due to snoring problems associated with breaking aforementioned areas.

Symptoms of broken Nose

If experiencing severe pain after any form of force was exerted onto their facial regions should alert potential patients towards investigating further medical aid for; difficulty breathing through either nostril/loss thereof airflow: something called epistaxis (otherwise known as extremity bleeding), particularly pronounced around cold flu season.

Blowing Your Nose While Broken

Now imagine having such horrible symptoms as mentioned above but coupled with excessive mucus (snot) production which surprise surprise makes a regular appearance during cold seasons-while squeezing out even at a thoughtless moment( Oops did I share too much? ) .

Under normal circumstances clearing our noses isn’t considered quite challenging except maybe moments where hair strands get entangled among loose flowing snot – Eww! But when nasal bones, cartilage or tissues are fractured, it’s a whole new ball game. That being said, there is no straightforward answer as to whether you should blow your nose despite its condition (except maybe I know of some people that could provide bespoke advice service).

Pros: Why You Should Blow

If the reason behind blowing their nose for people with damaged nasal structures is due to congestion associated with clogged airway passages from excessive snot production. That makes sense considering that mucus build-up in sinuses and nasal cavities leads to discomfort such as headache scratching at nostrils during cold seasons.

A good old-fashioned “hold one nostril down while blowing through others” approach might seem like just what the doctor ordered … except they probably already instructed against experimentations around broken body parts.

Cons: Why You Shouldn’t Blow (or At Least Not Vigorously)

On the flip side though, forcing compressed air out can increase swelling around facial regions close to where damage occurred resulting in subsequent pain/discomfort/soreness known well by those who’ve experienced before (Hi 80% of pro basketball players)

Humidifying The Environment

The intense dryness common during winter months creates excessive dehydration causing further complications within recovery range when accompanied by blocked noses. So create moist indoor spaces/crank up showers even more-and watch them New York Times bestseller novels like me #QuickShoutOut
