What Are The Signs Of A Broken Bone In The Nose?

So I bopped my left nostril on accident, not with too much force, and I heard a popping or cracking sound. There s no swelling or deformities or pain. I know it s probably nothing too serious, but since my mind won t stop bothering me I need to ask this: could I have broken or displaced some of the cartilage in my nose?
