I got punched in the face, and my nose hurts slightly when i press it. should i worry it's broken? nothing looks different, only slightly swollen.

Not unusual: It would be unusual to be punched in the face and feel no pain as a result. Soft tissue injury/bruising can take days to weeks to improve. A broken nose would usually result in dark bruising and possible deformity of the nose or ability to shift the nasal bones on pressure. A tiny fracture is possible to miss but also would need no special treatment. Remove yourself from any unsafe situation.
