Hard to know: Can you provide any information about the onset or any potential exacerbating factors. Was there injury to make you suspect it is broken? If there was, trauma to the cartilaginous structure can occur without bruising. Without injury, one might suspect congestion (infection? allergy?), but this feels like a stretch
