Does Hitting On Nose Cause Snoring?

My daughter hit my nose with her head last week, and when it happened, there was a crushing sound. Since then, my nose feels stopped up, but I don't have any other symptoms for having a cold. Also, I have started snoring really loudly since then. Any ideas what could be going on?
