Swelling And Bruising On Bridge Of Nose As A Wooden Box Fall. Got Cold

A wooden box fell on the bridge of my 18 month olds nose. There was only a little blood. Gone with one wipe. Swelled up right away across the bridge. Not too bad but enough to notice. Some bruising on the bridge but not under his eyes. He was fine after 5 minutes and playing like normal. He touched his nose a couple times and didn't flinch. I tried to feel it but was scared to touch to hard. He let me for a second. It doesnt look crooked but not sure 100% because of the swelling. As far as his breathing, he has a cold already and is stuffed from that. Can't tell if its effecting his breathing or not. Please help!!
