What Causes Swelling And Bruising On The Nose Post Trauma?

I had a fall on the stairs last night and landed straight on my face, had a nose bleed which stopped not long after. My nose is now swelled up and bruised. Should i get it looked at incase of fracture/break or just see if the swelling goes down after a few days?
