Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Nose After An Injury

Hi, I accidentally banged my nose hard at the bottom of the pool yesterday and I have a lump on the top and sides. I went swimming again today and my friend who saw my incident said my nose was red and big. What should I do and do you think I broke it. It still hurts badly and to move or touch it.
