I just got hit in the nose about an 1.5 hours ago, not sure if punched or smacked. The right nostril had a light bleed that is now gone but I am left with swelling inside the right nostril still. Will I need a medical care?

YES! If neglected, the haematoma could get infected forming into an abscess which could dissolve all your septal cartilage leading to a saddle nose deformity!
