Noses heal pretty quickly, but a serious wallop can take about a week, assuming the nose isn't broken. In the meantime, ice-pack it to reduce the swelling faster. You might also consider taking an over-the-counter painkiller/anti-inflammatory like Aspirin, Acetaminophen or ibuprofen (naturally, always follow the directions on the box and don't take these if you have adverse reactions to them).

If you think the nose may be broken, it's worth getting an X-ray. If a broken nose heals incorrectly, it may cause nasal breathing problems for life.

If a bump stays for even longer period of time, you should definitely go to a doctor.

Why does the cartilage piercing still hurt after three months and what is the bump on the back of the ear next to the hole?

The cartilage takes a long time to heal I've had mine done for over a year and it still really hurts and has not healed properly. I've still got the original earring in and i wouldn't change it until it is healed fully. The bump on the back of your ear is from getting it done with a gun instead of a hollow needle. It's all the skin and stuff shoved to the back.
