Nose swelling: May have fracture from exercises or cellulitis ( infection/ inflammation) ,sinusitis or rosacea ( https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne-and-rosacea/rosacea#causes). May need antibiotics . Follow up with ENT( ear nose and throat doctor-otolaryngology) and get imaging to rule out fracture and get treatment .

See an expert: You should see an ear nose and throat surgeon or plastic surgeon. Obviously, something has happened to the structure of your nose that may or may not be repairable.
