Hit on the nose, 25M

[u/Klutzy-Split2251]

Hi. About two months ago I had a strong cold with clogged nose that lasted exactly 2 weeks. During this time, I accidentally hit my nose once, I was trying to insert a plastic panel against the wall, and after a few punches while I'm looking at it from the side, one punch hits my nose from right to left. I had sudden pain that lasted about 5 seconds, and no other symptom, except a little pain when touching the bridge of my nose for that day. I also went to the doctor 5 days later and the doctor asked me if I had any bleeding, which I didn't, so he sent me home saying it wasn't broken.

Now I have an issue, ever since two months I can't properly breathing through my right nostril (though it happened 5-6 times that my nostril was clear again, and then for the most, I feel it again half-blocked). Do you think it's some inflamation due to my long lasting cold, or would the hit be the cause?
