Can a Nose injury cause your nasal passages to swell and/or fill with mucus?

I play Basketball recreation-ally and two nights ago (its 8:15 am, on Friday so that was Wednesday Evening) I took an elbow to the nose when I was playing defense. The blow was to the ridge of my nose on the left side. The next morning I woke up with quite a bit of mucus in my nose, my throat was super-dry (despite the fact that I sleep with a running humidifier), and I feel my nasal passages are swollen because when I take anti-inflammatories I can breathe easier for a few hours after.

I played again Thursday Evening from 2:30pm to 8:30 pm and when going for a rebound was hit again (elbow) this time straight on the bridge of the nose. (right next to the original injury). The first injury bruised and the second one did as well though not as bad. The nostril on the left side (injured side) is considerably more clogged and when not clogged (after I blow my nose) gives a very slight but uncomfortable sensation (not painful).

So its almost two days later and I don't have an onset of any other symptoms that would point to sickness (not ruling it out) so I was just curious if a nose injury can cause the symptoms I am having and if so any advice on how to care for it properly and possibly alleviate the stuffiness and uncomfortable feelings when I breathe through my left nostril (injured side from first blow).
